William Francis Moran Jr. (May 1, 1925 – February 12, 2006), also known as Bill Moran, was a pioneering American knifemaker who founded the American Bladesmith Society and reintroduced the process of making pattern welded steel to modern knife making. Moran's knives were sought after by celebrities and heads-of-state. The "William F. Moran School of Bladesmithing" bears his name and in addition to founding the ABS, he was a Blade Magazine Hall of Fame Member and a President of the Knifemakers' Guild.

This superb Damascus dagger is in outstanding original condition with leather covered Nickel Sliver Sheath. The Pommel and Hilt are also composed of Damascus forged by Mr. Moran. Ultimately, every Bill Moran knife is a Masterpiece as well as a little bit of knife making history. You could not hope for a finer example than pictured here!
