Sgian Dubh...

I make my own "sgian don'ts", knife handled bottle cap openners. They are safe, legal, and to me generally more useful than a knife. Here's some pictures





If you do any wood working they are pretty easy to make.

Nice!

Since I don't drink, and I do a lot of stuff with rope, leather, and wood, the knife is far more useful to me than a bottle opener.

Being you are in London I believe the law allows you to wear your sgian as long as it is a part of your highland dress. As for myself I am never without one, no legal issues here in Colorado. I also have had a real blade made as most you see are not servicable as blade.

That is hickory, specifically it was part of a hammer handle. I haven't made an ebony one because...well...I don't have any ebony

hickory is good wood. Must have been a good hammer!
