Antler kilt pins

[Frostbeard]

I have seen kilt pins made from antler tips. Does anyone know where these can be bought?

There is a seller on Etsy that does them, based in Inverness. Ullapoolboxcreations is the shop name but you can just search for antler kilt pins.

Thank you for the information.

UBC (as above) - they also make some great looking sgians.

You can also try www.jboultdesigns.com - (also used to be on Etsy - not sure if they still are - and their stuff is available from other retailers) and www.antlersgiandubhs.co.uk who also have some good looking pins made from bullhorn.

Ebay is also worth a try - I bought one last month for £3 (it has an ugly bling bling cairngorm on it but I am going to swap that for a new cap made from some pebbles I picked up on the loch shore last time I was in Scotland - when I get around to cutting and polishing them).

I'll give another thumbs-up to Ulla Pool Box Creations. I have one of his sgian dubhs and an antler pin and I absolutely love them. One caveat on antler pins... Depending on the piece of antler used, they can catch on lots of things. A single tine of antler wouldn't be too bad, but mine is a small fork of antler with the pin running vertically on one tine, leaving the other tine free to swing and grab everything. I'll end up re-mounting the pin across both tines to keep them close and tidy.

Here's a link to my photos in the weapons sub forum:
