show off your sgain dubh III

[Joe Gondek]

I just finished another sgain dubh and sheath
thought that I would share the pictures with the board

I think I'll keep this one
Caribou handle poured pewter bolster and high carbon sheffield blade

[Mattg]

That's awesome sgain dubh!

[mkmound]

Very nice!!!

Joe,
That's a sweet litle sgian! It reminds me of the Scottish "utility" knives of old (some styles you might be interested in recreating!). The image is from "The Scottish Dirk", by James D. Forman, Historical Arms Series No. 26:

I,m really into the 18th and early 19th century and try to give the stuff I build and old time feel and pantina
I also have and use that booklet as a reference

I am very impressed with your work, but especially struck by your sheath.

[Scott Gilmore]

Nice work. It's so refreshing to see the warmth of a hand made knife, rather than the usual lifeless ubiquitous mass-produced items.

Thank you,
Scott Gilmore
