    Cecil:

    I just LIKE it! Very nice work. Now, I realize that the sgian dubh is mostly a ceremonial piece of kit but I take it that you are a "redneck in a skirt"* and I have to ask: how does that tusk feel in the hand? How easy is it to work the blade?


    * "redneck in a skirt" I live about forty miles south of you, and so, by virtue of being a fourth/fifth generation Texan, and a full time kilt wearer, I think I have the same leeway to poke fun at my own as Jackie Mason does: no offense is intended!

    Held in this way it is very comfortable. Don't expect to use it much, but it is useable and sharp.

    As a fellow Texan, then you know you don't have to ask if it feels comfortable in the hand. You should be asking, "How Big is It?" and "How many out of towners will see it, and say 'only in Texas'?"
