My new sgian

[Andrew Breecher]

Looks good to me. The knife nerds will probably find fault with it.

I'm certainly not a knife nerd, but I think it looks great. My only complaint with it is that the carving is on the "wrong" side of the handle, unless you wear it in your left sock. I like wearing my sgian dubh with the blade toward the rear, so that when I reach down and draw it I'm holding it correctly. If you wore this one with the carving facing out you'd have to turn it around in your hand when you draw it.

Still, like the others have said, it's a great deal for $30.

What he said.

As I've mentioned in previous threads, I like functional knives, and I'll not be one of those putting a fake "sgian" into my stocking simply to look like I'm carrying one.

This looks like a steal for $30, as long as it'll hold an edge.

I had planned on sanding the handle down and redoing the "basketweave". Might even do something else as I got some new toys to play with in the woodshop.

I also dont see a blade this small as a weapon and only as a tool.
