    New Sgian Don't

    While at a craft show I saw this being sold as a butter knife. I thought it looked pretty and would work for places I don't want to carry a visible real knife (I always have my Swiss Army knife in my sporran, since the only time I go completely bladeless is air travel).







    The photo quality isn't great, my camera doesn't seem to want to take that much of a close up. I thought the blue and green would work with almost all my kilts, and I like the wood grain.

    By the way, the faint lines on the background are standard widthe lines on notebook paper, just for scale.

    It's a pity that photo is not sharp. This wood grain looks interesting.

    Geoff... check if there's a little picture of a flower (tulip?) on the back of your camera. If there is, that's the button to push to get high quality 'close up' pics of an item and keep them in focus.

    And take a picture with a quarter in it... it would be nice to see scale.

    That's a neat looking piece

    What's the width like?

    Geoff,
    I would love to see more pictures and maybe some measurements.
    It looks like a rainy day project for me and my son.
    Thanks,
    JT
    I will find something clever to put here later...

    I like it! The dark color should look good as a sgian replacement.
