    Sgian dubhs (dubh bebh dubh, new)

    As some of you may remember, my father is a woodworker. When in Albuquerque 2 weeks ago, he made a number of kilt pins for my wife and I. During that time I teased him that I was going to order a number of new blank blades and have him build another sgian dubh. Well, my father cannot resist a challenge and here are his results.

    A sgian don't


    A damascus sgian dubh




    All I can say is WOW!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Those are both very nice.
