sghian dhub for my birthday

**Rusty** · 15th March 06, 07:05 PM

After reading all the posts I’m thoroughly confused about the sghian dhub. :confused: I have one that I got when I purchased my kilt last year, it’s really cheap and nasty I want to buy a nicer one without breaking the bank. My wife said she would get me a sghian dhub for my birthday

I have looked up some of the sites that have been mentioned in this post....
so many choices...... not enough money.
Has anyone narrowed it down to best cost and quality ? I think $50 to $60 is plenty I would like to hear from anyone with recommendations. Sorry for being so windy, but I want to do it right!

I stumbled upon this website...these look pretty nice and are not over expensive.

Good luck!

Thanks Robin, I'll check the site out to see what they have

Most of the Highland wear vendors have them available starting from $35.00 up. Try www.scottishtartans.org or www.scottishlion.com, both have a good selection.

I only wear mine in my kilt hose as a decoration so the quality of the blade is not a big deal with me.

Well, the price is right, and to my way of thinking a live blade is superior to decorative.

Bryan...but that's just me...

Rusty, what is the clan badge on your avatar? Looks like Davidson, or a sept.

The Clan Badge is Russell. There are actually two that I've come across the one pictured with the ram and the other has a hand holding a scale.

Those Fox Creek Forge sgians were posted by the maker over on Sword Forum International a little while ago, and I've been in love with them ever since. I'm going to attempt something like them when I make my day sgian.
