    New sgian dubh in progress

    Here's a shot of a new sgian I'm having made by a blacksmith up in Maine...

    It's the heat treated, but unpolished 5160 blade, an African blackwood blank for the handle, and nickel/silver for the ferrules.

    I'm told it should be completed next week. Once received, I'll post a review and share the smith's name and contact information.

    I think it's gonna be a beauty.

    I look foreward to reading your review.. It's looks to be a fine looking knife.
