Dagger Construction
-
Hi,
I've been having a frustrating time making the dagger to Liber A specs. As given by Crowley, the dagger would require one to assemble a shop of a lot of expensive and messy gear, or, as I've been trying to do, get a knife smith to walk you through making one at theirs. Everyone I've talked to about this has flaked on me, and I've been trying for months. There's got to be an easier way to do this, like for instance, just getting a steel file and filing the &!* down.
If anybody here has made the dagger, how did you do it, and is there a more sensible approach to this?
Thank you!

I bought a blade blank and the other materials needed to construct mine. So I still had to carve the handle out of wood and construct it, I just didn't forge the blade myself. I used demons evoked through the world wide web and commanded them to do that bit for me. They even sent it first class post.

You must mean daemons.
Well, with all the demonization of daemons, djinn, and whatnot, you might as well call humans demons. Well done. A future Solomon if I ever saw one.
I'm sure it didn't take 72 demons to do it though. You need to plan building your temple. I hear that the demons that you would command to do that do not speak English well, but work very hard, deliberately, and for very little money. They also eat very hot food that is completely friggin' delicious.
Good luck, Cygnus. The star that would not die.

Thanks
Yeah, considered going the knife kit route. Seems like the easiest. However, would like to do it "Liber A style" if possible. Considering just buying a piece of steel and trying to grind it down by hand, rather than, you know, screwing around with a belt sander, forge, etc. I understand this can be very time consuming.
Fark. The Pantacle was so much easier... and that was hard!
