Beautiful stuff. Nice photography.. and some of my favorite work of J to date.

I have a very similar mix in that first one about to be forged.. all the shavings from the Seycham meteor fittings on my current sword project....
 
More great stuff Caleb. The contrast in that first photo is amazing, very deep and rich colors.
 
Nice photos Caleb.The meteorite bowie is a very interesting knife, even if it was a bit of a challenge to match a sheath up to it!!
