    I'm wondering how wide the handle and the blade of a sgian dubh is? I think I have all the other measurements.
    Picking one up at random the measurements are as follows:

    Overall length (tip of blade to top of pommel): 6-5/8 inches;
    Length of grip (tip of pommel to base of blade): 3-1/4 inches;
    Width of grip (at base): 1-1/8 inches;
    Width of grip (at pommel): 1-1/16 inches;
    Thickness of grip (average along length of grip): 5/16-inch;
    Width of blade (at grip): 1-1/16 inches.

    Hope that answers your questions!
