    An accessory for an accessory

    Hi Y'all, (or should I say Howdy Y'all),

    So I had an idea for a box for a precious accessory:

    So here is my Front/top:


    If it were a kilt, here is are pleats (Ok, hinge side):


    What could it hold?

    Yup,

    Many of you have seen the lovely sgian dubh that I received from Howard Clark. I decided that I would make an accessory box for the fine accessory. Here is the thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/sgian_dubh_howard_clark-t38987/index.html

    And what might be on the inside to gently cushion the dugh?

    Well of course a MacPherson...

    I checked out the link. Nice blade. Nice box too. Do all you guys sharpen your Sgian Dubhs or leave them dull.

    Mine came dull from Scotland. I'm thinking of having it sharpened or shapening it myself.

    It's a tool, not an accessory, and sharp tools are the only way to go.
