New Sgian

[Sparky McFizzlenuts]

Very nice! I have been doing more smithing and have started forging some blades myself.

I have not been much on wearing a sgean dubh in the past as much of what is available is not very useable. Some are very pretty but not useable. I am also one who does not like bulky things in my hose. So I decided that it was time to start forging. I wanted to create sgeanan as comfortable as possible. My goal was l to make a reasonable, real knife that can be used for cutting rope,dressing a grouse, gralloching a deer, or slicing some apples. I want them to be working, functional yet somewhat traditional knives for folks that really use them. Meanwhile I have been experimenting with the craft.

Those are awesome! I haven't purched a Sgien yet for many of the same reasons you list. I want something that is useable, sharp and not flashy.
