Hello Kiai Carita,
Just to clarify what you mean... you referred to meteorite in the blade, does the blade contain meteoritic material or are you referring to nickel being added to the iron (and it represents the heavenly)? If meteoritic material is present in the blade, is this common and do you know the source? Thanks.
