Sgian dhu II

[Mike S]

I have to chime in here:
Be fore warned that the Sgian Track of the Wolf is selling is a real P.O.S., made in India with deplorable materials/workmanship.
I bought one on a whim to use the blade and scabbard with a nice piece of Stag horn I had for the handle, and ended up replacing just about everything on it. Granted I already have 4 Sgians, but that is beside the point(pardon the pun).

The blade is low grade steel and hasn't been tempered/hardened properly, making it very bendable and unable to hold a keen edge. The fittings aren't Nickel Silver as advertised, but Rhodium plated brass, which flakes off if you so much as look at it too strongly. The fit and finish is really bad, they obviously picked one in a hundred to photograph for the ad.

If you are hell bent on getting this model, Dixie Gun Works in Union City Tenn has the exact same Sgian on sale right now for $9.95 (check out their web sight). For $35.00 Atlanta Cutlery/Museum Replicas sells a nice Ebony handled model made by Windless Steelcraft (still Indian made, but far better quality) that is much better all around for the money.
