I made my first purchases today since joining this group. It was great to have so much information avaliable by searching through threads that addressed what I was looking for. The sgian comes from Jim Young at Comrie Crafts, after narrowing three choices from three different sources down to him. I communicated with him via email regarding some questions I had and then finalized my decision. Before joining I had already pretty much decided on belt, buckle and shirt (jacobite) from Scotweb, but info from a thread I found regarding traditional kilt belts helped me finalize my decision about the belt. I pushed the purchase button on those today too...
