New sgian dubh in progress

[ShaunMaxwell]

Here's a shot of a new sgian I'm having made by a blacksmith up in Maine...

It's the heat treated, but unpolished 5160 blade, an African blackwood blank for the handle, and nickel/silver for the ferrules.

I'm told it should be completed next week. Once received, I'll post a review and share the smith's name and contact information.

I think it's gonna be a beauty.

I look foreward to reading your review.. It's looks to be a fine looking knife.

I can definitely agree with David - So Far So Good.

Look forward to the finished article.

Got a couple of new photos of the work in progress from my bladesmith this morning... Looks like much progress has been made!

That is coming along wonderfully, I look forward to more, and congratulations it's going to be just great.

This blade looks very nice, Shaun. I look forward to pics of the finished product.

That is wonderful! I really like the simplicity of it. Very elegant.

I like that, came out quite nice.

Here's the latest from my bladesmith... Sgian is done except for final sharpening. All that's left is to make the sheath.
