Default Star metal sword

While the Giant recovers, XKCD gives us it's own take on the starmetal sword. Enjoy!

I shall have to counter the xkcd comic with the following.

Warning, TV tropes link below. (Having been warned the relevant info should be under the real life section as well as the general description of the trope).

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...hunderboltIron

Of course with different varieties of meteorites, getting one that's a poor choice for sword smithing is a possibility.

Of course, Sir Terry Pratchett (another author 'moderately' well-known for his fantasy writings), made his own star metal-infused sword when he was knighted.

That is how "The Press" of Christchurch, New Zealand headlined that article. It made World Wide Words newsletter section of badly misworded quotes.
