I have decided to make The Copper Dagger of Inanna for use during the Watcher summoning and other rituals. Metallurgy and the working thereof is a hobby of mine, so for those of you interested in making the Dagger, and are not interested in spending upwards of $27 for a thin, low-quality sheet of copper, this project will seem very appealing.
You will need:
A hammer Pliers An anvil or other hard surface A good quality rotary tool A Chisel and wooden wedge
First, obtain a 1" diameter copper pipe whose length is appropriate for the dagger. In otherwords you decide how long you want your dagger to be - small or short sword length. A 1" diameter piece of copper pipe will yield a width of 3" when hammered flat.
Secondly, draw a straight line down the length of the pipe. Then use your rotary tool to cut the pipe open so that you will be able to flatten it into a sheet. You'll probably want to use reinforced discs, as copper eats them up pretty quickly.
Thirdly, use a chisel to start the split. Then put the pipe in a vice and insert your wooden wedge into the inner pipe and use the claws of your hammer to begin prying wide the pipe. This will form it into a semi-circle if done correctly. You can use pliers for this as well, but you'll more than likely make small dents which can be hammered out at towards the end.
Fourthly. when it has been sufficiently opened, use an anvil and your hammer to flatten it.
Fifthly, the pipe has been flattened and can be used to create The Dagger. You can draw the outline of the Dagger and then again use your rotary tool cut the pattern out.
Sixthly, use a dremel engraving tool or nail to place the engravings upon the Dagger. You may use a knife sharpening tool to sharpen the edges of the Blade if you wish.
I hope this has been a help to those of you who have wanted to make the Dagger, but did not know where to begin. As soon as My Dagger is finished, I will upload a photograph to share with you all.
Eternally, Mathias

QUOTE(curi @ May 3 2006, 04:28 PM) Dear forum,
I have come to crossroads and am trying to decide whether to go through the trouble of making the daggar of Inanna (found in the Necronomicon and one of the necessary tools) or to buy a readily made and available one. I have not been able to locate anyone who actually sells this daggar. Please let me know if you can be of any help in this regard. I would really rather not make this tool (but of course, if I have to, I will have no other choice). Perhaps you may know of someone that may be able to sell one for a reasonable price or can make one? Thank you and please let me know.
Sincerely,
Mr. Curi Standard Dagger - 10 bucks Copper Spray Paint - 1 dollar Paint brush and black paint - 3 dollars Not having artistic ability but realizing that the symbols on the dagger are rather easy to paint - priceless (IMG: style_emoticons/default/harhar1.gif)

Hey guys,i followed mysticks advice and did a full fledged Necro evocation to get me a watcher..But first i set up a temporary altar to my beautiful goddess Inanna and sort her blessings.. (IMG: http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/7728/p1ql5.jpg) (IMG: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3742/p2xg9.jpg) Pretty aint she?lolz.. K back to work, I did feel the power of opening the four gates and felt my watcher but my astral senses still need awakening.I did clearly see my watcher appear in the flames as an owl with wings spread wide though.. It was quite awesome.Something to this effect below. (IMG: http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/3135/owlei5.jpg) I tried to get its name but the word i got was Mah-tuk.Im guessing its under allegience to maratuku or Marduk but not sure,just my guess.. I did evoke our father aranunna to be my guide and asked me to open my astral senses(as i typed this my light bulb just flickered)lolz.. I couldnt see his shape in the flames as it was huge and just flying all over the place..I intend to sleep with his charged sigil below my pillow to supercharge my dreams..hahz..So all in all a good experience would say..Any comments would be appreciated..thankz for all the help guys,e specially mystick and darkgoddess..
