Could be a unique sgian dhu!
Check out this little all-steel beauty. You'd have to make a sheath, but it would make for quite a unique sgian:

If it fits your taste and needs it will work. Each person has to have their own
special requirements for their style of Sgain Dhu they want to carry.

It would be a good carry neck knife.... But if I was going to get a sgain dubh I think I would want something closer to traditional than that.

hmmm
I agree with peacekeeper, I like the trad sgian dubhs, and I never cared for knives without a tsuba/hand gard. It just frightens me.

I kind of like it. Of course, I tend to be a bit primative at times. I also carry a variety of German hunting knives as a sgian dubh to honor the German part of my ancestry.

YIKES! I'm not a weapons aficionado, so that thing really makes me nervous.

It would certainly be closer to reality of tradition, comparative to the commercial atrocity that is so prevalent. What is perceived as tradition is no more traditional than commercial enterprise influence on society's traditions.

This is one of mine - I wear it quite often!

With a sgian dubh it depends on how 'traditional' you want to get, what people think of as traditional today is "traditional" in the victorian era sense, as opposed to "traditional" in the jacobite era sgian dubh which was just literally the knife that you carried in your sporran or up your sleve, and was quite different from the modern engraved and stone encrusted things you see.

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it, wear it with pride!
