I personally wouldn't get a fake wood handled sgian dubh. Look at the Blackwood model, again a pretty and subtle sgian dubh. I like the oxhorn one for when I dress up. Otherwise I wear one of my "sgian don'ts" (a knife handled bottle cap openner or comb).

I have the blackwood model and I agree with Panache. nice, understated handle that will go with anything, blade actually has a round edge that I'm afraid to put to the grinder - it looks like it was chromed. for the price, it gets the appearance job done well. a truly functional SG will go a bit dearer. Check out some of the posts in the accessories forum showing DIY SGs. Some very nice work out there.
