    You can buy his work on ebay, which is linked to his work.

    Much better than the one sold by Sussen which looks similar

    I have no idea who "Sussen" is, but this sgian dubh was made by Comrie Crafts. Are they, perhaps, one in the same?

    Quite alright. I was just kidding around, more than anything.

    Is the sgian in the pic you have up now made of stag bone, or is it some synthetic material? It looks a bit off, in the picture. Perhaps it has just been sanded quite a bit?

    I hate to say what it is: it is indeed stag horn and wood. It is not a Comrie Crafts one though. It's a knock off of Comrie. My knife maker told me that Comrie is rather imitated.

    Never matched.

    The sgian dubh in the photo is indeed a Comrie Crafts production and is not connected to any other company.

    I would recognise my work anywhere.

    Just when I think I might try my hand at making a sgian, I see something like this which is UNBELIVEABLY good and I get intimidated. I don't think I could do that well in my dreams.
