    Back in the shop

    Been out of pocket for awhile and finally got back in the shop to make some sgians. Made a stag handled sgain, a carved ebony sgian, and a boxwood sgian.

    The antler handle is nice, but the boxwood really takes the cake in this series. They all look very nice, well done lad.

    I especially like the boxwood. Very understated but classy. The blade almost looks like a pearl!

    Very well done, indeed! I personally like the stag handle the most, but the boxwood handle is undeniable classy.

    Thanks fellas, the boxwood sgian was the first I made of that wood and I am hooked on it now. The "pearl" look to the blade was me not getting the right angle not to have a reflection off the steel.

    I'd vote for the Boxwood. Very different looking and very cool!
