Finished Sgian Dubh
Adriaan Gerber emailed today to announce the completion of my long-awaited sgian dubh. Here are two photos of the new knife and its leather sheath.
The newly-created sgian dubh. The hamon is clearly visible.Note the notched blade, a characteristic of many Scottish knives.A basic leather sheath (which no one is meant to see as the knife’s blade is traditionally tucked into the top of the wearer’s hose).

An absolutely gorgeous accoutrement. However, always keep in mind the Book of Armaments 2:57, “Thou shalt at all costs avoid the occasion of bringing a knife to a gunfight.” So let it be written, so let it be done!
