    Sgian #5

    Made a more traditional one for my brother-in-law (whether he likes it or not!)

    Hilt is an antler tine from a fallow deer, with a Culloden bog oak bolster (HUGE thanks to Rab Gordon)

    My latest experiment is acid-etching blades (originally to replicate damascus steel) & as Bill has this thing for Celtic spiral work, this seemed a reasonable option for the blade. Hope you all like it

    You are producing some really beautiful unique work. It is just amazing to me.

    Beautiful work. Are you making sheaths as well? I'd like to see a pic of how the knife fits the sheath.

    Very nice. Looks like the handle would fit a hand very comfortably.
