Like my new dubh?

[Troglodyte]

That's superb work - evident skill of a master cutler.

I fancied having a go a sgian-making a few years ago, so bought the blade blanks, fitted antler handles, and formed the leather sheaths around the finished knife. I set a reticulated pattern sterling silver disc into the crown of one, and a simple cap on the other.

These form part of my usual kilted day-wear, and, being my own handiwork, I have no qualms about using them for their true purpose - not just as ornament, I mean.
