    Question Sgian Dubh dimensions

    Instead of dealing with a plastic-handled novelty knife of questionable provenance, I’ve decided to fabricate my own. Is anyone able or willing to measure their Sgian Dubh so I may build an accurate version?

    Best,

    John

    I’ve included photos of several of mine which validates what Hauge said — somewhere between 7 and 8 inches.
