Wow, these are really cool, what works of art!
Do you ever work with iron from a meteorite? I've always wanted a meteoritic iron damascus knife/sword.
Hi Mikestang, I've never had a knife made with iron from a meteorite but it could be done if it was cleaned of all impurities and you had a solid, pure piece of iron. However, this sounds more like a 35+ btc job, instead of 0.35 btc.  Well, 35 might be a bit high, but yes, definitly put the numbers on the left of the decimal point. Maybe someday, if I ever mine a block... Some examples of meteorite damascus: http://www.arizonaskiesmeteorites.com/Meteorite-Knife/Damascus-Meteorite-Knife-2/http://www.kdmeteorites.com/MeteoriteKnives.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4VKDtjhiBMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_PS2l31EhM |

Received mine today and it is beautyful! Thank you very much.
I was surprised, that it passed the german customs without paying tax.
I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them.
Guys, only a few left and a very fair price. Get it as long you can!
One question, how do I take proper care of it? I wont use it. Do I have to oil it or anything?

I didn't see the United Kingdom on your list of shipping countries, surely a mistake?

I believe you don't want to sheath it for long term storage |

Which means it would rust over time?

Europe? DHL?

I believe you don't want to sheath it for long term storage Correct. Or, if you do you want to store it in the sheath, I would place the blade within a thin plastic bag or something (or cellophane) and then in the sheath for long-term storage. This is because leather contains moisture which can (over time) contact the blade, and the blade is high carbon steel. I store it in an vitrine. Not in the sheath. And I don't use it. So, I do not have to oil it or something?

He used USPS for mine. (Germany) Took only 9 days to get here. |

USPS? So it was delivered by the postman and not by a parcel service? |

Correct. I ship it using United States Postal Service.
This way it costs only about $25 USD to ship this heavy knife internationally. Using DHL/FEDEX/UPS it costs as much as the knife itself just to ship it! I'd have to double the price.
Ok, but the parcel would still be insured and online tracking available? |

Damn it looks awesome  Have you considered making any cheaper knives engraved with Bitcoin symbols and messages ? I'd probably buy one at around 0.1 BTC, if it wasn't a collector's edition. |

IronMarvel, your collection is sick as fuck. I've have 60% of what you have, but man, I would love to have what you have. Could you tell me what those squary bar things are, near the Serp DIY's and the FiniteCoin? Or even better, could you send me a list of everything you have? |
