    The Gathering Dirk

    Here's a wee project that I had the pleasure to be involved in and as we're now able to 'go public' I'd like to mention it here first.
    My friend Roddy Young from Inverness made this special presentation dirk for the recent Homecoming Gathering, I made the handle and various other artisans from around Scotland were also involved which made it a nice group project.
    The full story is here - The Gathering Dirk

    That is a truly beautiful dirk and an honor to you to be involved in its creation. The detail in the grip is stunning!

    Looks great. Very fine in detail and best of all - SHINY!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
