    New sgian dubh in progress

    Here's a shot of a new sgian I'm having made by a blacksmith up in Maine...

    It's the heat treated, but unpolished 5160 blade, an African blackwood blank for the handle, and nickel/silver for the ferrules.

    I'm told it should be completed next week. Once received, I'll post a review and share the smith's name and contact information.

    I think it's gonna be a beauty.

    Got a couple of new photos of the work in progress from my bladesmith this morning... Looks like much progress has been made!

    Here's the latest from my bladesmith... Sgian is done except for final sharpening. All that's left is to make the sheath.
