New Artisanal Sghian Dubh
I am the proud and happy owner of a new hand made artisanal sghian made by member (not very active!) Chris Lesutis. I saved pictures he posted on Instagram as it progressed, and took a couple after it got here, so here is the saga:
Blocks of raw African Blackwood arriving in Chris' shop:
Raw handles cut, carved and waiting for insets:
With the brass pommel attached:
Blades from Rab Gordon's forge - high carbon, Damascus steel
With the blade and diamonds for a rough fitting:
Canada Customs did open it for inspection. (Chris called them "cheeky" for that!)
With a presentation box inside the shipping parcel.
And a presentation case inside that!
And here it is!
To say I'm delighted would be a gross understatement!

That is a beauty, one of the often overlooked accessories is a sgian dubh, by and large there tends to be a piece of plastic stuffed in your sock top. This would be a wonderful addition to any Highland wardrobe. Congratulations.
