Any other thoughts?

The fact that it's a double edge might be a problem, but I think it's an awesome looking knife.

David,
That would make an exceptional looking, modern Sgian. It looks very well made and of quality materials too. I'd certainly wear one, and if need be, you could grind the left edges down slightly (fortunately it has a very shallow edge, so we aren't talking about removing a lot of metal, or distorting the shape of the blade) to eliminate the double edged element and make it "street legal".

Damascus? Might there be a discount for a multiple unit order?

Good looking blade.
I'm glad to see you found something that will work for you.

Hey David,
It goes without saying (even though I'm saying it!), do post some photos of the Sgian Dubh when you get it! Congratulations by the way.

Here is a link to yet another source for handmade, lovely dirks and sgian dubhs by a fellow MacRae no less. It's called Scotia Metalworks:
