my new skein dbu

[Graham_S]

just got the first pictures of my completed doo
isn't it pretty






bet you can't guess who made it for me

 

[John Fenna]

Very nice - so who did make it?
John

 

[British Red]

There can be only one............


Stuart Mitchell (who marks his blades in a pointless way - his skill speaks louder)

Nice one. I'm always a fan of traditional knife styles.

 

[Graham_S]

it's both traditional and a user.
something that wouldn't look out of place 200yrs ago.
no plastic thistles on this one

 

[Toddy]

Very nice, very nice indeed
Are you going to save your pennies and ask for a matching dirk too?

Cheers,
mary

 

[Graham_S]

doubt it. i'd never wear the dirk, as i'd get my collar felt quick smart.
i will wear the doo, as i wear my kilt quite often.
i don't like the plasticy ones available today.
i actually got it to match my stockman folder

 

[Toddy]

D'you know I never even gave that a thought Most of the menfolks I know who wear plaids wear both. Ye gods but that's going to be fun at Hogmanay now.

It's still a nice sgian, Graham I hope you get a lot of opportunity to wear it.

atb,
mary

 

[Graham_S]

i know the sgian dbu is specifically mentioned in legislation as being legal to carry (as is the Sikh kirpan), but i'm not sure about the dirk. so i'm not risking it.
i wouldn't want to have a custom stuart_m dirk confiscated.

and i've not got it yet...
it's waiting on the sheath to be made.
i should get it in plenty of time for Xmas though, can't wait

 

[Schwert]

Graham, that is a very grand knife. I would like to see the sheath when it is done too.

I went for a Dirk with my non-traditional kilt.....

Gene Ingram Custom Dirk, D2, Elephant Ivory scales, 4" cutting edge on the bottom and 3" on the top...8 5/8" overall.
