I've been waiting for my damascus steel from the Arab Emirates. That is a story in itself. I also had them make me some Sgian Dubh blades to my specifications.

I decided to use some old walrus ivory, bayleen, and one of my new blades



This is the blade and handle materials I decided to use


Sliced off a piece of Ivory---It smells like you're getting a tooth drilled.



Then I drilled out the handle to accep the tang and did some file work



The fit was acceptable so I went ahead and cut some bayleen for the caps
