Sounds like this knife is made to do some work, not just look good. Very clean, attractive design.
I'm wondering about the size though? 4 1/8" long is pretty massive for a knife generally worn in the top of one's hose... my sgians are more like 3" blades, 7" overall.

It sounds a little big, but that is some impressive work. Like another post said, a simple design requires good craftsmanship...nowhere to hide mistakes.
Very nice!!

I like it!
I've always had an issue with "small" bladed sgian dubhs (I prefer 4" myself) that aren't of much use for anything else except for opening letters. Yours looks like a real working blade.
Do you do metal engraving?
