    The sgian dubh that I probably won't make, but might

    I never wear a sgian dubh. Like...never. But I'd like one for "formal". Honestly, an ebay five dollar special is probably just fine, but being who I am I kinda itch to make one.

    I'm building an emergency rudder for the boat. It's a requirement for the race. To reinforce the rudder I bought a fair bit of unidirectional carbon fiber. It seems most appropriate for me, being a sailor and fiberglass wonk of intermediate skills, that I laminate up a simple sgian dubh handle out of carbon. I might laminate two layers over a "blank" of inexpensive wood.

    It would be black, after all.
