    Show some Sgian and do the Dubh!!!!

    Now that I am making a few sgian dubhs . . .
    I was wondering if anyone would be willing to provide pics of finished ones they or a friend have made.

    I would LOVE some neat inspirations (not that I can make them NEAR as nice).

    The more unusual the BETTER.
    I have googled MANY pics that look a HECK of a lot alike.

    The coolest I've seen so far:

    BUT, WAY out of my price range.

    What do your's look like?

    Oh, is that a board member? I've been coveting one of his knives for over a year, now.

    He posted in this thread on the toxicity of a particular wood:

    and in a review of one of his blades:

    On my shortlist of things I want to buy (or at least see).

    Some of those are really nice. I'm working on one right now with an Ivy wood handle, but I don't have Rab's wonderful carving skills.
