I think most of the knife makers who forge blades out of meteorites prefer 
to use Gibeon iron due to its tight structure and high nickel 
content.  There is an Arizona knife maker in the Tucson area by the name of 
Tai Goo who forges damascus blades using iron meteorites.  You might want 
to check with him to find out Canyon Diablos can be used in this process.

Hello Peter and List

I have several knifes made with iron meteorite in the blade and have showed
them around at the Tucson show this year.
These knifes are made with iron meteorite and forge with tool steel on the
cutting edge, meteorite iron only knifes will not hold an edge and will
rust.
There made by a great Swedish knife craftsman, A. Andersson, one of the top
knife makers around, you can see for yourself his work with knifes is great.
The meteorite knifes I have are with Campo, Chinga. and a Odessa come soon,
all made with a exploding patter Damascus steel cutting edge and very sharp.
He's known for his Exploding patter.
Here's a link to the photo's

There's an early stage Chinga Blade.

You can order these direct from the knife make, he makes meteorite knifes on
a custom orders only, give your requirements, type of handle and blade type
and meteorite to be used, prices runs from $500 to $800, depending on the
Handle and type. Also all knifes come with a custom hand tooled leather
sheath. His attention to every detail, makes it well worth the price.

 Hello list,

 I know knives have been made of meteoritic irons.
 Is it possible to make one with a Canyon Diablo, can you forge it ?
 Thanks for your help.
