My newest sgian dubh

[Nighthawk]

Did they have chocolate salsa?

As a matter of fact, yes. And it was surprisingly good. It was spread on crackers and mixed with cream cheese. I wouldn't buy any... but it was not too bad.

And there were Oompa Loompas all over the place... I'm a clownophobe as it is... but those things? Man! Creepy! If I had less self control, that sgian may have drawn oompa blood!

nicely done, i'm normally not a fan of antler handles but this looks really nice,

I'm exactly the opposite! I love antler handles. I love the look of it, the feel of it, and I love working with it. I'm having a Renaissance Scots doublet made for myself, and just finished cutting and drilling the antler buttons for it this evening. It's this style, but made of green wool lined with black wool:

But as I have often said, if we all liked the same things, life would be boring!

I really like that!

Thank you thank you. I have now made 2 from the rack that I have. I have a friend who took a deer and made a deal with me- I could have the whole rack minus one tine if I would make him a knife from the tine. I am making a knife for a leather worker friend of mine in exchange for a sheath for the dirk I'm making from this rack. And then my son wants a sgian of his own from it... so I am making 4 sgians, one dirk and 6 buttons from this rack. I'm having fun! Now if only my dirk blade would get here... That's my latest jones!

I like dark chocolate with red chili, that's why I asked.

Oompa Loompa, Oompa Loompa, Oompa Loompa, splat!

... life would be boring!

Dude, I have said it before, and I guess I will say it again...
Are you SURE we are not brothers?

BTW, sweet job on the sgian!
