The making of a damascus Sgian Dubh (picture heavy)

[okiwen]

Very interesting that a friend and I have been lamenting for the longest time at the cost and quality of these knives. He dabbles in knife making and has said he was going to make a demascus blade. You beat him to it.

I wish that there were better quality sgians availible for a reasonable cost.

Good posts.

The photo w/ your new sgian, being worn, looks like you have a bad fracture that is sticking out of you hose. Very nice. O'Neille

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that, O'Neille!

Maybe already well known, but for those less skilled in the art and science of the forge or simply lacking such facilities, Atlanta Cutlery has several knife blanks in high carbon or damascus steel for Sgian Dubhs, dirks and other dagger styles.

The talent present in Xmarks continues to astonish me. This is the first time I've come across the work of any of our blacksmiths - Wow! The sgian dubh is amazing.

Knife looks good. That will certainly elicit some comments!

I gotta say, that sporran has some bodacious tassel action!
