I have started a project, which I call the Sgian USB.

That's kind of a neat idea. I might make one of those and put my whole digital library on a sgain don't... Just in case.

Great idea, I can't wait to see the finished result.

Anyone up for making a sporran with a portable hard drive inside?

edit - The opportunities for humor are here, but a sporran with a small portable hard drive is intriguing.

You know...the opportunities for humor here are staggering. I must resist...I must resist...

Just so you know I wasn't joking, I like the idea accept I'm thinking more along the lines of creating a functional sgian dubh with a hollow handle that will hold the thumb drive. I think I have a blade that might work, but it will take a bit of creative mumbojumbo to do the handle.

I'd talk to Turpin...

That is VERY cool!!

Cool idea, be sure to post pictures when it is finished. What will hold the two halves together? I was originally thinking you were making a recess to hold the USB drive, but you are taking a very interesting twist on the subject.

My reasons for making it the way I am is because I wanted a fuctional Sgian, for areas of life where a knife blade would be a bad idea. Please let me know if anyone makes one.

I thought Panache had made a few of those. I know for sure that I have come across the idea on the forum before. I guess "USB" wouldn't work with a search because of the three letter rule.
