A dressier antler sgian dubh

[James MacMillan]

I like it. I was thinking an inlaid/engraved piece of silver would work while I was making it. That is much more dressy.

Thanks Kresent, now I feel vindicated for screwing with your work.... I was worried that you wouldn't like it. It should look even better when I can buff it.

Hey have you ever tried a stacked leather handled sgian dubh? I used to make those all the time, and the leather really looks nice when buffed.

You just make a bunch of leather washers, stack them on the shaft or tang, tighten them down as much as possible, cut, file to shape and then buff the dickens out of it.
