William F. Moran
William F. Moran Jr. or Bill Moran (May 1, 1925 - February 12, 2006) 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.
==Early life==
Moran was born on a dairy farm near Lime Kiln, Maryland in 1925. There he learned the craft of blacksmithing by trial and error using an old coal forge that he found on the farm and made his first knife at the age of 12; by the age of 14 he was making knives to sell. As a teenager he taught himself how to forge a blade, obtaining advice from local blacksmiths (although in a 2003 interview with ''The Washington Post'', Moran said he was "getting all the wrong answers" from them) and by the 1950s he was publishing a catalog and selling his forged blades.〔 In 1960 he sold the family farm to become a full-time knife maker.
