    First sgian dubh

    This is my first sgian dubh. It was made for me by a fellow paratrooper who makes custom knives. It was his first sgian, but I was more than impressed. The handle is a combination antler and wood. Plan on getting him to make me another one.







    I'm not so hot on the sheath he made, but he wasn't sure of how to make one without a belt loop. I think I am gonna find something a little more sturdy.

    Nice work. I agree the sheath could stand a little improvement.
