Thank you all for the suggestions. It's going to be a fun project.

Using the half pattern idea, I drew it on a computer. Once I had what I wanted I duplicated it, flipped it and connected it to the original...effectively giving me a perfectly symmetrical version of the dagger. Then printed it out and used that for the profile.

Thanks again for the half pattern idea. When this thing is finished, I'll post a pic...uh, unless of course it turns out like complete rubbish.
