When no other sgian will dubh

[tyger]

I just had to take a little time off for myself this week, and make a sgian that I had been designing in my head for some time now.

This sgian is 100% metal: carbon steel blade (3.5 inches), with a copper, brass, and silver solder handle (4 inches long, 5/8 inch thick- a good fist grip). Made to be tough as can be. The knife weighs 3.4 ounces (103.5 grams).

You might notice some finish blemishes; they are intentional, as I plan on really scuffing this knife up as I test it to see all that it will do. Fine finishing, and embellishment, will be on future models.

I will be trying it out, giving it the acid test on everthing in sight. Then, I will make a few more, perhaps with some patterning to the copper handle.

All metal construction:
