Cheap Sgian Brew/Don't

[MacWage]

I was using the term as short-hand.
No offense is intended.

I LOVE the work Rab does, it is JUST GORGEOUS!!!

Your's look good to, not even CLOSE to what I was referencing.

My intent:
Cheap bottle openers (with the handle actually shaped like a bottle, even) that would be "passable" as a sqian dubh-like alternative for those saving up for something nice.

HECK, getting used to a cheap one would ENCOURAGE a nice one. As one gets used to having a sock-worn bottle opener, one is more likely to pay $150 (or so) for such a work of art.

None taken, I think that "Sgian Don't" is a good generic term for any sgian dubh-like item one puts in one's sock instead of an actual sgian dubh. No matter who makes it.

I was only concerned about Rab's work, being he is our resisident knife artist extraordinaire and how valued his input is to X Marks the Scot. I too know that someday I will just have to have one of his wonderful pieces.

MacWage,
Have you had a chance to carve the handle on your bottle opener? I am interested in seeing how it turned out.

Old thread I know so I hope no-one minds me reviving it. MacWage, I came late to the party and would love to see how this turned out too. I'm looking for inspiration as I'd like to make one myself.
