    Nice Sgian Dubh from Scottish Tartan Museum

    A few weeks ago I requested the MacIver Clan & Family History Sheet from the Scottish Tartan Museum. I then took the Locharron swatch that ChattanCat used to show me the colors of my future tank and combined the two to create this picture that I am either going to keep myself or give to my aunt.



    I also purchased this very nice Sgian Dubh from Scottish Tartan Museum, and I must say that this was well worth the rush shipping. The blade comes dull but could easily be sharpened if one decides to do so. The craftsmanship is suburb and the stone color is very nice. Granted this is not a Rab Gordon but fits the bill quite nicely.



    The MacIver kilt and Sgian Dubh.

    Thumbs up well done

    I like the presentation lay-out that you have done. I hadn't thought to present these two items in such a manner before, thank's for the inspiration. I"m thinking Xmas etc. Well done.
