Sgian Dubh - Out of this World

[KFCarter]

These are all beautiful pieces but I'm still stuck on Rab Gordon's sgian dubhs.

Contemporary Smith's and knife makers do some very high end artfull creations using layered steel. SOme years ago I was heavilly invested in 18th Century American colonial reenactment where a Damascas blade was Verbotten! During that period in the COlonies making layered steel was a lost art.

I recently discovered that during the Crusades thousands of Damascas swords were brought back to England. It's would seem very likly to me that not a few of these blades became dirks and sghin dubs.
