Cold Steel

[highlandcelt]

For those of us who bemoaned the elimination of Cold Steel's Culloden in favor of the Caledonian Edge, and who didn't like their plastic "FGX Skean Dhu," I just found this on their site...

The Brave Heart



Specifications:
Weight: 2.8 oz.
Blade: 4"
Thick: 2.8mm
Overall: 7 3/4"
Handle: Kraton®
Sheath: Secure-Ex®
Steel: AUS 8A Stainless
$64.99

I still prefer my Culloden's traditional grip, but hey, at least they still have an affordable, functional sgain dubh!

I like the blade. However, the handle has got to go. It takes away from the true beauty of the blade. I bet the sheath is synthetic too. To each, his own.

Here's the original. It took a bit of searching to find a decent pic since they're not offered anymore.

I have the full size non-serated version.

I have to admit, Iolaus, they are some pretty blades! I love me a good knife! (blade fetish!)

Ebay has them as low as $34.95 "Buy It Now." Just ordered one myself.

It looks too much like a kitchen knife to me

For day to day use I wear the original Cold Steel Skean Dhu, but moving off at a tangent:-

As for a variety of reasons I need to use a walking stick these days: for day to day use around town I carry their City Stick-a nice weight and with it's black shaft and polished steel knob it adds a bit of dash, and goes well with the kilt.

In the country I think a Thumb Stick is more appropriate, but a bit long for around town-in and out of vehicles etc.
