My new sgian

Looks pretty nice. Ditto what BobC said, but for 30 bucks, who gives a rip.

Let us know how things work out. And congrats on a good looking sgian.

Ok knife. It is Pakistani. Some don't like **** steel, but I've made alot of money over the years by selling **** steel. The important thing is do YOU like it. Once it's in your hands. play with it. How's the heft? Does it feel sturdy? If YOU like it, that's all that matters. So what if it's not the greatest steel in the world, I mean it's only a sock knife. It is only a ceremonial part of your outfit right? Or do you want a REAL weapon? Simple questions that only you can answer.

How can you tell it's **** steel?

I wouldn't classify a sgian dubh as a "weapon." It's a tool.
