A little disclaimer: people had power hammers in the ancient and medieval times, powered by watermills. These were not very common though, usually it was just a couple of forge helpers with heavy hammers.

For anyone interested, the dagger shown at 6:44 is from Tutankhamuns tomb. It is made from meteoric iron when iron smelting was rare. Ca. 1323 BC in the bronze age.

No it isn't. It's forged from iron with methods currently unknown. There's no proof of any meteorites. None. You find a rock on the ground you can't say how it got there unless someone witnessed it and recorded it. Everything else is religious belief.

@@StoneDeceiver A 'reducing flame' basically makes the environment on average starved of oxygen, usually by the presence over an over abundance of carbon based fuel. That reduces oxidation that occurs on the surface while the metal is in the forge, and ideally only starts forming after you pull it out(but it's hard to make it THAT perfect).

Every atla fan is stoked by this.

If you cut the meteorite up into small pieces and put it in a canister with your other metal ingredients . I believe it's called Wootz steel , that would probably work best .

Now that's cool and I could see having to find/scavenge quality meteorites for forging in a game or movie/show like the Expanse. Wonder how much it would legitimately cost for one to purchase something like this.

Alec Steel also tried couple of years ago. Unsuccessfully.

A sword made of meteoric rock, why does that sound familiar? *cough* Gehrman *cough*

As soon as you start to forge meteoric metal, you lose the grain structure that is the only benefit it might have had over a terrestrial alloy.

What type of tool steel ?

i love how they edited the work mid-heat, you can see how lobsided the billet is at 5.14 and then it cuts to a pretty neat and straight bar. nothing but respect either way but it had me laugh

in Indonesia the name " Mpu " , he made sword from meteorite too..in ancient century with hand he making sword . The javaneese sword name " Keris ."

The ancients were smart enough to smelt meteorites with iron sands and charcoal to smelt them into a workable ingot

Power hammers are awesome, I would love to have one but I can't justify putting one in my little home forge.

wonderful homage to Alec

This looks excellent for home kingdom defense.

I mean... historically swords breaking was an issue... I'd imagine it was less common with swords made by more experienced smiths. no one saved the ones that broke and the ones that happened to come out really well became legendary or w.e.
