Antique Mid-18th C Dirk Measurements

Just for the fun of it I carved a handle for a sgian like the one on your dirk. It’s yours if you want it. If you let me know what colors are in your kilt I will look to see if I have a stone that will match. I don’t have any little brass tacks to put in the handle. If you decide to put some in I suggest you lay out the pattern and drill small holes cut the tacks off short and epoxy them in. If you want the handle pm me your address. Ray.

Hey there, Dave. Is there a blue square in your tartan? I was looking for a stone that I can use. I have a blue that would that would work or a orange red that might work.

There is a blue square in the MacPherson Tartan. Blue will go nicely, thanks!
