    Very nice, indeed... do you have plans to perhaps market these in the future? I feel sure there would be a lot of interest!

    Short answer, yes. I'm on the lookout for blade and handle material now!

    Nice job Mark! I like the idea of recycling old blades too. I'll have to keep an eye open at fleamarkets for blades.
    Regards,
    Scott

    Beautiful job!! You should be very proud!

    MacKay71 made several out of old throwing knives our son had. I'll get him to post pictures! He also made a "sgian don't" (no metal, solid piece of wood) out of a piece of cedar from a 100+ year old tree we cut down at my parents' house. A friend of his from work took it to the Gathering with him. "If I can't go to Scotland, at least my sgian can!"

    Excellent job! The file work really makes that pop. I particularly like the size and shape of the handle. Many antler sgian dubhs have really thick handles with over sized crown pommels. While they look pretty, they also look uncomfortable to wear and use. The slim, contoured handle you used looks very comfortable and functional.
