So what are your folks opinions?

This is the sgian that I carry. I like the look and , more importantly, the way it feels in the hand. It feels more secure than most of the others, I have a tendency to "ride high" on the handle, not too cool for sgians and most of the Norwegian style knives. The "baby dirk" handle feels secure and lively in the hand to me.
I would love one that was a "real knife", as most of the available sgians today (even my own) are very good for opening a few letters...no manila, which goes against my "Every knife is a tool to be used" philosophy. The blades on most are weak and "wiggly" and most that I have seen require some time with Mr. Gorilla Glue before they are secure. Something in full tang that was capped by something sturdy, instead of the silly plastic stone, maybe one of the old skull crusher type butts.
