Scottish Dirk from Anne

[lemmythesmith]

Hi all, here's my sghian dubh, made this a couple of years ago, it's my work knife now. Damascus blade, shagreen scabbard, bog oak hilt with brass fittings and Iona marble. I think your sghian dubh is a "daytime wear" piece Bill, antler hilted blades were worn during the day, more elaborate pieces were for formal occasions (that antler hilt is awesome!) I'm of Maclean descent myself...
