DIY Sgian Dubh 2.0

[MacGumerait]

It could be more comfortable but I'm hearty. Actually, it's the bolster, rather than the antler that protrudes a little much. If I had a metal grinder, I might make it flush. I could also smooth the backside of the antler in the process. Those two steps would make it very comfortable but for now, it's just fine. I wore it last night to the pub for hours and forgot it was there.

That is sweet and quite a respectable sgian , well done !!

I was wondering about the comfort level . I have an antler handle sgian that I ground off some on the back , exactly as you stated for the same reason . I didn't have a bench grinder ... so I clamped the sgian down and used a hand held drill with a grinding bit . Worked pretty well ... if that's any help .

Of course , as you said , after wearing it at the pub for hours you forgot it was there . I can relate to that , after hours at the pub ... I forget my shoes are there .

All kidding aside , that is a fine sgian indeed , nice work !
