My little collection of sgian dubhs
I've only got a small selection of sgian dubhs but I intend to enlarge the collection in time but only when my wife isn't looking!
1. This was bought for me to use on my wedding day; it is sharp but only after I went to work on it. The inlay is a silver St. Andrew.
2. This has a plastic handle, is sharp and is one I wear a lot of the time.
3. Originally was a sheath knife I bought in the 70's, in Scotland, when I was at a Scout camp. I've just snipped off the belt loop and it does it's job as a sgian dubh.
4. I picked this up for very little at a militaria fair a few years ago. The maker's mark appears to be that of Samuel Hoppe of Solingen, Germany.

Reason: Researched the maker's mark.
