    Thumbs up My new sgian by Raptor

    I've been jonesing for months. It finally arrived this morning and it's amazing. The blade is beautifully etched with the Gordon's "Bydand". The hilt is made of Desert Sheoak, a native Australian hardwood. The sheath fits beautifully and the green stone on top sets off the whole shebang. Photos below:

    The whole package


    The etched blade


    The desert sheoak hilt


    And last but not least, the signature.
