Meteor Excalibur

This version of Excalibur is made of pattern welded steel infused with approximately $1000 (which is just a handful) of Gibeon meteorite. The guard, pommel, and two grip rings are made from the same pattern welded/meteor steel. The grip scales are stabilized ebony and the wire wrap is stainless and titanium. All the steel, the meteorite, the wire, the wood, and the hammers used in forging this piece were blessed by the Vatican in Rome (not even kidding).

This sword was a one-of-a-kind project which I have no real interest in repeating, far too costly and time consuming though it was very interesting to work on.
