this is my first attempt at a sgian dubh , until i get my pottery kiln fixed i thought id mess about with another material for the handle , ive seen folk use wood ,tusk ,bone and so on butas yet ive not seen any marble



the marble was only meant to be a mockup handle to give me ideas..... but now im not sure whether to finish it as is with some leather lace around the stone and secureing the blade into place then make a sheath or when the kilns fixed take the blade out and start again with ceramic
i guess i could buy another blade

i must admit i rather like the marble and its given me ideas as a easy carveable material to work with plus marble comes in soo many colours and strengths
any views folks?
