    praise where praise is due

    Just dropped by Freedom Kilts today to pick up some new hose and got into discussions re Sgian Dubh. I mentioned I was interested in one with an irish flavour and admired one in the display case that had a functional blade and a crest on the handle. I settled for one with a generic irish crest. Not too long after I received an email saying he had found a way to put my family crest on the handle. Now that is service.

    Yes pics would be great. Does that mean he can put the crest on any sgian or only one that he sells?

    I'm so jealous!! You're so lucky to be near Steve's digs...

    Course, maybe its for the best I'm not... would probably be even more "kilt broke" than I am now.
