Sgian Dubh No3

[Water Gypsy]

I made this Sgian Dubh for a friend of mine to give to her partner as a birthday gift
The handle is bog oak, with reindeer antler bolster and damascus steel blade. The sheath was made by the other half-goat!
I chose to make the handle slighly longer than a traditional Sgian Dubh handle, as he said he would be using it to skin rabbits etc and I thought it would be easier for him to hold while using it!
The bog oak was a bugger to work with took me forever to hand sand it into any form of shape, but I got there in the end!!
My friend seemed to be over the moon with it anyway, so lets hope he like it too!!

Thanks for looking

Fionn.

I really like that. It looks so Celtic. Very cool.
May I ask where you get them nice little blades for those?

I've never seen the draw of bogoak myself but actually, the damascus and antler sets it off beautifully Your patience has paid off with the sanding, it looks stylish and ergonomic. Your knives are lovely... understated and classy!

That's awesome. Re. The sanding, invest in a Japanese saw rasp.

Really nice fionn
I've recently aquired a blade although not as visually stunning as the damascus blade you have used.
Must get a decent handle material now.

That's a cracking job, he'll be over the moon to get that as a prezzie. Beautiful blend of materials and form, and the level of workwomanship is stunning, bog oaks not an easy material to work. Lovely piece, GB.
