New custom sgian dubh

[Dale-of-Cedars]

Heaviness is a legitimate concern for any full tang sgian... would any of the knife makers or owners of such knives be able to comment on how to deal with that issue?

The makers of the low-cost Colt narrowed the profile of the handle, but I still only let the last 1/3 show above my hosetop. Don't want it flipping out.

Yes, I actually have that Colt sgian

Without the butt cap and profiling on the hose side though, it doesn't have quite the same look as the OP, does it?

Gorgeous!

That is a nice design, and obviously very well made.
I've been toying with ideas and designs for a full tang Sgian myself for some time but, as others have mentioned, have been concerned about weight and balance.
Maybe someday I'll give one a try, but I think I'd be hard pressed to come up with something as nice as Drac's.

Red and black are my college colors. I wouldn't mind having a knife like that.
