My New Sgian
This weekend while attending the Taste of Scotland festival in Franklin, I ran across the Bold Blades tent. They had this little beauty for sale and it just had to go home with me.
The handle is lace ebony with a bone cap. I rather like it!

Looks to be a wood handle of some sort. Any idea what? And what is the material at the top and bottom of the handle?

It's a good looking blade. Congrats on a good find.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

Nice!! I went to Colorado Rennaisance Festival this weekend, and managed to wonder into into one of those hand forged blade dealers. They had a dirk that I at first glance thought was a Roman Gladius, but when I looked closer, I could see that the handle was carved with thistles all over it. It was so strikingly beautiful... if I had had $1075 I would have bought it... I do believe in love at first sight... ***sigh***

The handle is lace ebony. the wood towards the blade is black ebony and the cap is bone. Purdy, ain't it?
