can you show me what the "Isle of Skye marble stone used for the catch on the Dirk’s pouch" looks like? I'm not familliar with a catch to hold the dirk in the sheath. . . . or am I off base and not understanding the term?

Absolutely smashing. What fine, beautiful work by all!

Man, there's "DIY" and then there's "DIY-Master Class."

As frequently happens here, I am in awe of the skills, craftsmanship, and handiwork demonstrated, and I thank you for sharing. Me, I can sand down a chunk of bog oak so that it's handy in the mitt, that's about all. You guys! You guys!

Rab - I was at the gathering but was not invited to participate in the presentation of this Dirk to HRH. Just an oversight, I imagine, but nevertheless, one representative of my Clan was there I believe. IAC, I am blown away by the detail and exquisitly fine lines you manage in the handle. I'd be interested in more info about your methodology including how you lay out the pattern and begin cutting..
