my first sgian dubh
This is my first sgian dubh. I have never done anything like this before and I made some mistakes. The bolster (?) is pewter that I poured around the blade (that was my worst mistake). The blade is from Atlanta Cutlery. The handle is walnut, I believe, although it was sold to me as ironwood. The pommel is amboyna burl. The handle is about 3/8 inch thick and flat on the leg side but slightly flaring on the presentation side.
Everything is solid.
Thanks for all the tips and the inspiration. I'd do some things different the next time but at least I got a functional knife the first time out.
