Sgian Dubh Two

[O'Neille]

My last two patients cancelled today! Yeah! Came home. Sewed some and then remembered I needed to send some Moose bits to pdcorlis. So I ended up in the shop with a blade and an antler.

Started w/ half a Bullwinkle



Sliced an appropriate chunk



Plus some more for pdcorlis because the saw was set up



A little drill press and saw work on the handle

[O'Neille]

A lot of test fitting



Decided I liked the handle the other way and cut some bayleen for caps



Mocked it together

[O'Neille]

Grind, sand, and repeat







Play w/ dog on the way to house to epoxy

[O'Neille]

Go pick up Daughter from school then, some buffing compound



Some polishing and it's done!





I really like how bayleen shines up like black stone







I've got a sheat from my first ivory sgian that I'll use for now.

Making knives is a great way to clear out the cobwebs. O'Neille

O'Neille,

Good on ya for your latest sgian dubh!

Cheers

Great looking Sgian Dhub! I also curse you for putting up pics of the Huachuca mountains, it makes me homesick!

That's a beauty! Ah, another thing on my list of "things to do before I die", make a Sgian Dubh. Congrats on such a nice job!

I live between the Huachucas and the Mules. Those are the mules in the background behind my house. I have a little cabin up there. If you browse my posts you'll see some very nice Huachuca Mtn. pictures. O'Neille

I like, very nice. Where do you get the blade blanks or do you make those also?
