Beautiful gifts for Valentine's day

My wife must really love me... I am a lucky man. I was working away on Valentine's Day and in my haste to leave the house on the day I went, Valentine's Day, which was then fourteen days hence was not on my list of priorities I must admit. Thank goodness for moonpig dot com is all I can say...

Anywhoo. There was no such forgetfulness from my beautiful wife, partner and soul mate. I came home two days ago to the following gifts (yes not just one...)

First up, a dress sporran in black bovine fur with silver and black enamel cantle. It's absolutely smashin'



Next a blackwood and chrome sgian dubh, boxed in a rosewood box and the styled after a nineteenth century military sgian.

Some pictures:


The Box with engraved plate.


It has a carved blackwood handle and is studded with nails and silvered pommel. The scabard is black leather and chrome.





It's nice and I like it very much. Unfortunately I will now have to recant my previous sgian rants as I have every intention of wearing this beautiful thing when the occasion is right.

Like I said... I'm a lucky man.

And we are all very jealous, John - on all levels!

Beauties. both. Actually, all three if we include your wife's attitude and love.

Can we discuss a trade. I'll offer the next first pick and a future trade to be announced.
