I finished this sgian recently. The wooden portion is a branch collected from the mythical rowan tree in the Highlands. This wood is every bit as tough as Tennessee hickory.

The snakehead end is a stock cast I made from a grey ratsnake found dead long the roadside last summer. I used poured pewter to fashion the bolster and learnt the technique from others here.

The business end is 4140 steel sgian blade purchased from Track of the Wolf almost a year ago. I left the blade shiny & a bit polished, though may change that to a browned one.

This one elicits a lotta interest.
