Unfortunately, sharpening it also marred the mirror finish of the blade and I was forced to use some high grit sandpaper to put on a brushed finish. Next time I'm near a buffer, I hope to shine it back up!
Thats is a beautiful Sgian, Where did you aquire it?

Mine is from The Real Sgian Dubh Company courtesy of my father. It is quite nice for the price, with hallmarked silver fittings and buffalo horn handle/case. In addition to sharpening it, I also had to do some work on the Celtic knots with a drill burr to make it 3D.
