    Latest Sgian Dubh

    Here's my latest DIY project. An antler sgian with silver fittings and a tiger's eye stone. I got a nice scrap piece of alligator hide from the folks at my local Tandy store for the sheath.

    Neat-O

    Sorry, I refuse to wear anything that takes away from the kilt.

    WOW. Wonderful work, wear it in good health.

    Very, very nice. Is that a Damascus steel blade, too? It's a little hard to read on my monitor, but it looks like it.

    Beautiful work!

    New that is a grrreat sgian!
    Really like the way the leather is braided and the corners are set with brads.
    Nice work! (does the tang of the blade reach the hilt?)

    It is a damascus blade. The tang goes in about half the length of the handle. The antler has a natural curve that fits my leg.
