Jonesing a Sgian Dubh

Looks awesome. Does the blade fit snuggly in the sheath?

It's a little sloppy, plan to glue a small piece of thin leather inside the throat of the sheath to tighten it up.

Well done Brian. That's a great piece!

great! I really like the grain on that timber you used.

you know I made a sheathed a scribing blade for my father, I routed the groove to deep, it fit but really loose, I opened it up and drilled a hole about 1/8" deep and glued a rare earth magnet inside, then I re-assembled everything, and whala... a magnetic connection solved all the problems.

looks great!

Those rare earth magnets are great - I usually use 3 really thin disc magnets embedded into a shallow recess on the inside wall of the wooden sheath near the tip
