Hey all
Here's a couple knives which I have been using as my sgian dubh

This is an old Kinsfolks blade made probably sometime in the late 50's early 60's. The blade has lost a lot of metal from being used and sharpened so much. The blade is the perfect thickness, handy size, keeps a keen edge and has held it's own and on occasion has outperformed knives costing 10 times as much.
If you ask me, if a knife is on the small side, has a black handle and lives in your sock while wearing your kilt......it's a sgian dubh!
Dread.....you asked about if Mora makes a wee knife
I have worn this in my sock while kilted even though the handle is a little too round and fat to be very comfortable, wood can always be reshaped with the right tools I guess you can refer to it as my Scandinavian Sgian Dubh:-)

I bought this one as well as a French Opinel folding knife from this website:

Ranald.........
I've been collecting bits of deer antlers from the local taxidermist recently just for that purpose.
The blades from Atlanta Cutlery are supposed to be of pretty decent quality

Many moons ago I mentioned something to the admin about posting a tutorial, now that I have a digital camera and a wild hair in my ****, I might just take that project on!
Wear your kilt proudly, but carry a big stick
