Looking to tweak the sgian dubh

[Drac]

Here is one idea: Filework around the tang with a different metal spacer with file work similiar to what some of the MSs' do on folders or alternating filework. Just an idea, I do not have the pateince to do that type of work

If I'm picturing that correctly you are suggesting is normally done on stick tangs but I have seen a couple Scandinavian makers (Andre Andersson, student of Roger Bergh) do it on full tangs. Scandies can be some of the most ornate functional blade you will ever come across. Been around hundreds of years with very little change in design. Worth thinking about.

Would it be possible to make the handle portion of the tang curve a little bit, like a scimitar? Not the blade, but the handle.

Also, I'd like to see a sgian with the handle shaped to fit the fingers, similar to the rubber grips on some older bicycle handlebars.
Lastly, I'd like to see one of these in my mailbox tomorrow afternoon.

Um, I'm booked up. Yea that's it. Booked up. If you realy do want one like that I do know some makers I can recommend...

Thanks for the input,
Jim
