    I'm still looking through the google search on safety sgian dubh, but most of these are the right style but the wrong quality. They are almost all moulded plastic with shiny bits. Some are a little better than I have seen, but none are a quality piece.

    There is always the thought of a DIY project.

    A bit of nice wood or horn, a small brooch, and a small comb instead of a blade or bottle opener. It only takes a drill, some two part epoxy, and a few basic woodworking tools.

    Could be a fun project (and save the elbow grease, fairly inexpensive)

    Cheers

    on Ebay a couple of years ago with sterling fitting. But it took hours of sorting through the morass of plastic to find it.
