Just got this new hose from WPG and have been sorta waiting for it to get cold to wear them. The white pair is a Royal Navy boot sock and the dark brown is an Indian Army heavy wool sock. The lighter khaki is a lighter weight wool. The sgian dubh is something I picked up on e-bay from a gentleman in Scotland some time ago. I do not recall his name but he has a website showing his wares. It is not sharp at all and is probably good since I would cut myself it it was. The handle is shed stag antler tied in with brass fittings, and the sheath is leather with the celtic design on it. This is my hiking, day, and dress up sgian dubh. BTW the kilt is a McLeod of Harris Ancient.

That's a very attractive looking sgian dubh. You might want to get some thinner leather and make a different sheath so the knife won't "bulk" in your hose.
Nice looking sgian dubh.

Congratulations on the fine additions, the sgian looks like it could be a Caufield Leather model, just thought I'd throw that out there in case it jogs your memory.
Nice looking sgian! I have a pair of the medium brown hose and like them a lot. Didn't know about the others.

McMurdo Thanx! It was Caulfield leather. Great stuff.
