Thread: King Tut's Knife

Apparently Tutankhamen's knife contained metal from a meteorite. But what about his razor?
Tutankhamun's knife was 'made from meteorite iron' - BBC News

I give up. Now I am looking for a razor made from a meteorite.

I bet Tut being only 17 was in peach fuzz and needed no razor. there is a roman razor on ebay in Bronze, bet that one is hard to keep an edge on....

Meteoritic iron looks cool, usually displaying a widmanstaaten pattern on the surface if polished and etched. This structure and pattern goes away if you heat it up to forging temperatures, or melt it. In the ancient world meteorites were often thought to be magical, as iron from the sky. Really, though, not so much. Most contain hardly any carbon in a form that makes it hardenable, and it (meteoritic iron) is generally not hardenable. But if you melt it in a crucible with the right other stuff, you can get decent steel.

Only thing that matters is that it comes from space and can be made into a good straight.
Oh and apparently I need it to have gold scales now
