Imitation Sgian Dubh from The Scottish Tartans Museum

[Dukeof Kircaldy]

I just received another portion of my Tartan Museum order from Matt Newsome when I had a real cool find. I had ordered the imitation plain sgian dubh (SD25).

Anyway, I was looking at this and thinking it looked like one of the older knives in my collection. I was amazed to find it was the imitation knife. This thing is really nice for when you need a "non-knife".

Most of the Kircaldy armoury seems to be illegal in Britain (fortunately it's all historically listed); so it's nice to have something which won't lead to legal difficulties if I remove it from the house.

Thank you, Matt

Oh, yeah, the Glenurquhart (RSD6) which arrived today is also very nice.

Cool, that's good to know. Congratulations.

My son and I both have an imitation from the muesum gift shop. Very useful for when a real blade is verboten.

Here we go! Spot the imitation sgian dubh:


It's the one in the middle! But it looks like the heirloom Sheffield sgian dubh on the right.
