    Jamie - I like that Ox horn! That's about as dressy a sgian dubh, as I think I ever would own. Elegant, but usable.

    I've yet to get a sgian dubh but I'd rather incorporate a mariner feel as opposed to a Scottish feel. I guess I'll bide my time until I find the perfect knife.

    Great idea! I've got a sailing knife with a broken blade (don't ask), I may use the remaining folding fid with a fixed sgian blade and some ivory scales with scrimshaw. Kind of a frankensgian.

    Wow those all look great. I don't have one yet but i'll probably pick up the cold steel Kraton one (and then figure out how to make a sheath).

    It Fits my more hightec look with the UK. But i'll probably pick up a nice Plactic bladed one for ren fairs it's kind of hard to peace bond a sgian dubh.

    Sorry to have bumped this i got mixed up as to witch screen i was on

    This is my small collection of Sgian Dubh’s / Don’t, from top to bottom.



    1. A nice Damascus steel EBay find.
    2. A Rab Gordon SN: SG484 Isle of Jura Whisky Barrel.
    3. Another EBay find, but it’s a Rab Gordon SN: SG148, Highland Oak.
    4. A Celtic Croft Dress Sgian Dubh.
    5. An 1800 patch knife.
