Very nice. Afraid I've yet to acquire any live pieces - I've got a Hanwei Practical Broadsword for training (Page 1746, woooooo!) and a 'dress' sgian. I'm working on making a sgian for myself, and if that goes well I'll follow it with a dirk. IF and only IF those go well enough, I'll consider making myself a baskethilt - but I'll buy a blade - probably an ATrim (I've actually got a AT1320 on order from the infamous sale).

Nice blades gents. Like the targes too.

My early style dirk made by Arm Art



My baskethilt made by bladesmith Al Massey


My Clamshell claymore made by Armour Class


My wife's baskethilted cutless (sometimes referred to as a turcael) made by Eddie Floyd of Swordplay Alliance


My anthropomorphic leafblade by All Massey with hilt by Albion Armorers. Not exactly Scottish but celtic.

My backsword by Michael 'Tinker' Pearce. This is a copy of a sword found on the battlefield of Wakefield. Again, not Scottish exactly but would have been used by Scottish soldiers during the late 15th c.
