    Will this... errr... Cut it?

    I'm considering accessories, for the fun of it.... I'm thinking of a sgian dubh, and I think I have it covered...
    I made this from a blade blank and block of ebony a few years back, as a boot knife. The jimping and overall style were heavily sgian-spired at the time.
    Here's the knife:


    Here's the ugly-yet-functional sheath. Note the coat hanger clips for the shaft of a boot, or the garter on hose.


    For fun, here's some detail of the mosaic pins, the jimping I did, and the Damascus pattern:


    Finally, here it is in my hose. Again, note the ugly coat hanger clips.


    So, now that I've covered all that:
    Would you use it as a casual SD?
    Full tang vs rat tail tang isn't a sin, is it?
    Should I make a new sheath and tuck it further in the garter?
    I like it high and clipped so I can draw it and sheath it faster/easier... Even in my boot, I use this knife a lot on steaks and things...
