    sgian -achlais /gralloch

    Having made quite a few sgian dubhs I was looking to build something a little different .I started by reshaping a 6 inch high carbon steel blade it into a more Celtic style.The handle is elk antler and the bolster and end cap are poured pewter
    This is the end result
    Im not sure if its going to be used as a sgian-achlasis (arm pit knife)
    or a Gralloch (hunting knife)

    I'll post pictures of the sheath when I get it done

    This knife needs a home if anyone is interested
