Where would I buy a sgian dubh blade?

[ardchoille]

I've seen a few folks make beautiful custom sgian dubhs lately and wondered about trying my hand at it too. Is there a place where I can order just the sgian dubh blade.. or other sgain items?

One of the rabble got his at Atlanta Cutlery.

Glad you mentioned it, I didn't know about this. I'll check out his site. I'd rather give my business to an XMarks member if at all possible.

I purchased several blades from Sheffield in England. They come with and without the name on the blade. You have to email them as the blades don't appear in their catalog.

There are many sources of good knife blades and entering that in google will give you many minutes of things to look at. BUT - If you are looking for a traditional shape in a sgian dubh, the above places mentioned, are about it.

I would add in Matt at Caulfield leather as a blade source if you want to buy from an x marker. My reason for saying that is that Rab seems pretty well booked for the next few months for custom work.

I bought a sgian dubh from Matt. I know you've seen his work, ardchoille, but I'm adding this anyway:
