Mini Sgian Dubh Fun

[Alan H]

I like that!

That is a pleat cut out. I'm working on a couple hours sleep. Don't look at the posting time of that picture. My caffeinated New Year got me out of whack.

Bah. My job has me up at that hour all the time. Danged military.

Regardless of how much sleep you had, the project looks awesome. I wish I had the resources and tools to do my own sgian dubh... which would also result in a mini version. I'd also figure a way to work it into a belt buckle.

That's nice work, will you wear it as a kilt pin ?

Nope, I made it for a knife exchange, the theme was sub 2" blade. I then remembered I couldn't ship the baleen or ivory to Europe. It's razor sharp (normalized, hardened and tempered) so it wouldn't work very well as a kilt pin. I can keep it in my pocket for when I need something sharp. I might make closeable sheath.
