Review of the Celtic Croft knife
I just received the celtic croft sgian dubh. Given my interest in things military and weaponry of various sorts, I wanted to see this knife.
It's a hanwei knife, which means it's actually made in China. Not bad. Paul Chen makes good knives and has a very good reputation as a knife and swordmaker, even though he is not Scottish. It's a Wee tad heavy by my taste, but looks good tucked in the hose. A bit annoying that Celtic Croft didn't say this knife was made in China. Although, quite a few sgian dubh, especially on the budget end of the spectrum, are not made in Scotland.
The best dealers on eBay are Sussen and Outpost Knives. There are a couple of Scottish dealers there as well.
You have to be an educated shopper as many of the posts show; however, Scots are known for being frugal!
