Show Us Your Blades

[English Bloke]

There is some beautiful custom work on this thread. Lovely to see.

I have a bit of an issue with knives which I'll not re-hash here but that said, I've come to terms with the sgian although I don't wear one with my every day knocking about look.

I have two, both bought in. One is a copy of a 19th century military sgian. The handle is stained wood, carved in a basketweave design and studded with steel pins. The scabbard is leather with pewter metal work. The blade is steel and has a fairly dull edge.

It came in a nice "Rosewood" box and was bought by my wife as a valetines present.









The other one I have is a dummy sgian made from the oak of a salvaged whisky barrel. It's flattened off at the back so it fits snuggly againts the calf and is purely for decoration. nice thing though. I like it anyway.






Some other stuff familiar to most of us with it to give an impression of the size.
