My 18th Birthday Present

Wow, that's very beautiful. I like the dark wood and the uniform look. Your dad gave you a present that you can treasure the rest of your life.

He must be pretty cool with you wearing kilts too. Good on your Dad!

Just think of how big a smile will be on your son's face when HE turns 18 and you give him the sgian your father made you.

and that is a beautiful sgian.

NOW, I didn't get one of THOSE on my birthday (also Aug. 31, though I turned 32).

VERY cool. I am jealous!

(Note to self: contact Raptor or Rab about a custom sgian dubh.)

its basically there so I don't put the sheath on backwards.

thanks everyone!
