Sgian Dubh blades
A couple of folks have asked about Sgian Dubh blades
I find that the 'Damasteel' Damascus takes a far better edge than the hand-forged Damascus which in turn is better then the ordinary stainless blades.
Titanium is similar to low end stainless and silver looks very nice (although I'm trying to source a supplier of Argentium silver which can be hardened.)
Mostly I've been using bought in blades and blanks for re-working while making the odd custom blade from scratch. However I'm moving more towards making my own blades and just using the odd bought-in blade.
I've updated my website with some info on the blades I use here.
