sgian dubh

[1mason]

I e-mailed Jim at Comrie Crafts and asked him if I could put an edge on the blade without ruining its finish. He assured me that it will arrive with a "decent edge"to it. He reminded me though that the Sgian Dubh is a dagger not to be confused with a hunting type of knife. That being said, I cannot wait to actually hold this new prize
This link shows essentially what I am getting.

The skean dhu may be in you kilt hose, but for some reason, at many a dinner people ask to look at it - because they're curious I suppose. If you're slicing up a haggis brought to your table at a Burns Supper it will come out, and for theor foregoing reasons, get the best you can afford. Broadswords and dirks are not something you're likely to wear with your highland gear, but you'll always have your skean dhu. Don't go cheap.

Hi all. I'm in need of help. Had found a sgian dubh that has a bogwood oak handle, and a silver cap that was either peened over or had a nut on it. It is similar to the one 1mason bought(without Damascus blade, I believe). Had it saved on my laptop, but somehow lost the ability to find it (water damage, ok whiskey damage). Any help would be appreciated.
