    Christmas gifts.

    Well, since this year is tight we've got a family rule that most of the presents have to be home made.
    Now, my sister-in-law's boyfriend is a quiet guy with simple tastes and I wasn't sure what he might like. But since he likes fishing I planned to make him a fishing knife similar to one I made myself.
    Unfortunately, the blade I got was dreadful quality. So, I made him a Sgian Dubh.

    And here it is. It's polished pine with an Atlanta Cutlery blade.





    And, for a friend of mine who is a beer officionado and doesn't have a sgian for his Kilt Outift... A Sgian Don't.



    This one is pale polished Oak.

    I made a few other things for certain people who happen to be on here now, so those will get posted afterwards,

    They're very lovely and very thoughtful! Wearing and using things made by people you know and are good friends with! Awesome! It just makes it even more special
