Just finished the sheaths for these two sgian dhus I made for two of my groomsmen. The blades are forged from high-quality hockey skate blades, the roughness was left in the center intentionally. The handles are whitetail deer antler. They are not drilled all the way through, and the blades are inset slightly. The extra width of the hole was filled with dental acryllic to finish it. Also notice the small ricosso at the bottom of the blades, something not normally found on sgians.
Both handles have similar curves.
And here's the dirk I'm making for myself, forged from a 7" piece of 3/4" roundstock. The handle needs the finishing work and then a finish applied.
I've been going nuts getting things done for the wedding, but I'm getting to the point that things are finally starting to be completed. But I've still got a few things to start yet! Three weeks and counting!
