I'm finally getting around to posting pics. The sgian arrived safe and sound from Scotland and is a beauty. It feels great in my hand and was sharpened prior to shipping. Should I ever get in a fight with some paper, I'm golden!
It's a bit bigger and heavier than a normal dubh. Comes in at 5.7oz with a total length of 7 3/4". The sheath is just over an ounce bringing total weight to 6.8oz. The blade length is 3.5" and the ancient bog oak handle is 3/4" thick. Sits in the hose okay, though, and doesn't seem like it's going to cause any problems. Haven't spent any time kilted (damn quarantine 30!) so it'll be a bit until I get a chance to wear it for a long period of time. I'm completely happy with this purchase.
