So I got bit by the bug and after hours of looking at the fine work posted by other X-marks members, I decided to try my hand at a sgian.

I haven't fixed the blade to the handle, as I'm not quite happy with everything yet. But I thought I'd post a mock-up pic to get some feedback.

The blade is Damascus steel that I found on eBay and the handle is rosewood. Working with all hand tools on my back porch so far. Don't have room to start setting up a shop.

Comments and criticism are invited.



Sorry about the poor cellphone-image quality. Still trying to find the power/data cable for the digital camera
