Erikm,
It wasnt too hard to make. A lot of cutting and grinding. With a steel wheel an ammo can and a leaf blower, you can make a workable forge. The tempering is a waste of time in my opinion.
Woodsheal,
those are great ideas. If I had seen those earlyer, I wouldnt have gone through the trouble of making mine.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt the Sgian Achlais the predesessor to the Sgain Dubh? After the 1715 rising wasnt it against the law to carry a concealed large blade? So the Scots started carrying smaller blades and put them in the top of their hose to be seen?
I've also heard the story about being polite to display all weapons when in someones house.
