Yeah, that seems unrealistic to me as well. That is nearly 1/2 pound of meteorite. You do realize, of course, that the entire blade is not made of pure meteoric ore when meteorite was used on these special keris. It is part of the pamor material only. I suppose that the pamor could be made up of all meteorite or in part, so i'm not sure the amount need be so specific. But i don't think a half pound would be necessary.
