Bill Moran is recognized as the founder of the modern American Bladesmith movement and is credited with re-introducing the ancient process of forging Damascus (pattern welded) steel. Moran's knives are some of the most valuable and sought after modern handmade knives. I recently began re-photographing a number of the knives in my personal collection, among them these two Moran pieces. The first is a rare double edge push dagger, a "Lady Margaret" named after Bill's wife and the other is a Green River style knife, one of Bill's 1997 AKI knives.
