Warning about e-bay sgian

[Rogerson785]

I had a very similar experience with the purchase of my first Sgian Dubh gift set. I paid something like $70.00 and the only thing of value was the kilt pin and cuff links. The sheath and handle are injected molded plastic and the handle has decorative fake carvings only on one side.

When I gave the seller negative feedback about the poor quality of the Sgian Dubh, he said I got a $120.00 blade for next to nothing and he threatened me with negative feedback, I could care less what he thinks, I am the consumer.

I am trying to salvage the blade and make my own Sgian Dubh.

I ordered one of those bargain basement Sgain's from Ebay.. After the sale I got zero contact from the seller... After I waited the 30 days or what ever the time is, I filed a dispute.. Long story short. I never got the Sgain, I got my money back from Paypal, The seller is out of business (both Ebay store and personal account).

...and the handle has decorative fake carvings only on one side.

Decorating a Sgian Dubh handle on one side only is a fairly practice. The smooth, undecorated side is to help prevent the handle from chaffing your leg.
