Sgian on a Skene
I’ve been sgianless for about 2 months Not a problem when the kilt hose are pushed down for an ultra casual look, but I usually like ‘em up with flashes. Some non-kilted folks have actually come up to me and asked, “Where’s your sock knife?” One was a black lady cop saying I wasn’t properly dressed. That was good for a laugh Since I’m trying to save for something else I didn’t have US$45 + shipping to lay out on 1 right now. My buddy Steve Sanders at Tennessee Sgians hooked me up for what I’d spend on a cheap bottle of wine. I particularly like the tree limb look of the handle. Our own Rocky R made the Skene kilt in the background

Nice sgian. I agree with you, I like the look of the handle. I also like the pattern on the sheath.

Dirk's handle is from a bodark tree, a.k.a. Osage Orange.
I have a length of branch from a rowan tree collected in the Highlands that's been cast too as a handle.
Slan,
steve

Very nice sgian, Skene!
I've seen some of Steve's work in person and it's very nice. Now to save up the pennies and put in an order....

Very nice. I like the wood, a nice change from all the antler sgians you see.

Not the usual, but all in all, a good, balanced design. I like it. It is giving me some ideas.
