Great looking blade and nice finish to the sgian. I'm sure the recipient will wear this one with pride.

That's really nice. Wow......someday, I'm gonna make a sgian.

[Joe Gondek]

real nice job on the carving and pin detail
great over all lines,simple and elegant
good looking sgain

a pewter bolster would help to overcome being handle heavy
another option that would is to make your handle shorter, not much longer than the blade

I was thinking the same things. When I was mocking it up, the handle looked to be an ok length. Once I got everything epoxied in place I realized that the handle was a bit long. Oh well, so it goes.

Pouring pewter is next on my list of DIY adventures to tackle.

Many thanks to all for the kind words and helpful advice.
