This has been asked numerous times. My brother thought about this and turns out the internet is full of people asking this question. IIRC it takes blood of like 2500+ people to make one sword.

Thanks fam. I suppose I should have used google before making the thread but whatever. That's a ton of people though, yikes. That gives me useful info though, something like a small sword pendant with a .1g blade would work better then I guess.

Also I wonder how small of a meteorite would get you that much usable iron. Like what percent of a typical meteor is iron and how large it would have to be to not burn up on entry and only leave enough iron to make a single blade.

Hmm... I did the math here and came to an extremely interesting conclusion, remarkable really.

It wasn't that hard though so I'll let anyone else do it if they're interested to know what I'm talking about.
