			There was an interesting shop in the mall in Santa Monica that I used to stop in at ages ago.  Guy was a hippie tturned entrpeneur and he sold great stuff: fossils, books, ethnographic items and so on.  Anyhoo, I bought this there and still am not sure what it is.  I had thoguht that it was meteorite iron.  The contract between the metal and carbon layers is striking.  Length o/a is 17", tang is 5.75".  Very end is bent a bit.
