Dad's Christmas gift

**Kerr the Walker** · 29th December 08, 05:55 PM

Finally got around to uploading pics of the sgian I made for my dad. Set up for a lefty in the true "Kerr fisted" tradition.

Blade is Damascus from Caulfield Leather. Handle is mainly ebony with bloodwood running down the center with steel accents.

Close up of the handle.

Enjoy!

(Tartan is Kerr Modern)

Very nice. Like the looks of the damascus blade.

**Carolina Kiltman** · 29th December 08, 07:22 PM

I really like the simplicity of the handle, everything balances out nicely. A Job well done!

**Mael Coluim** · 29th December 08, 07:25 PM

You are quite the artisan.

**Sionnach** · 29th December 08, 07:21 PM

Very nicely done! What a great gift.

**Wolfgore** · 29th December 08, 07:32 PM

That is absolutely beautiful.

I love the ebony with the bloodwood.
Makes a very nice contrast and works great together.

Well Done!

Thanks all!

Had a lot of fun with this one. Getting the groove for the bloodwood right was a bit tricky, but in this case, the ebony was pretty forgiving. Hard as all get out, so tough to remove too much material at one time by accident (heck....even hard to do on purpose!)

Thanks again for the encouragement. It does mean a lot coming from such a talented group.
