    Another Pink Ivory Sgian Dubh

    I just finished this one up for one of Clan Gordons finest. Used the Pink Ivory and amber combo that works so well with brown wood handles. Being well in the 100's down here I had to squeak it out at night and early morning, with that said I am sure I am not too popular with the neighbors

    That is a fine looking blade. Nice work.

    Gorgeous as usual, Nathan!

    And I her ya about the heat, I'm having a real hard time convincing myself to get out in the shop to get stuff turned! Although something weird happened and we had this wet stuff falling from the sky today so it was cooler!

    Very well done!
    I never worked with Pink Ivory, but heard that it's really hard, and kind of a pain.

    Do you forge your blades, or do stock removal?

    I do a little of both forging and stock removal depending on what I am making. As far as the pink ivory it worked as easy as any other hardwood.
