Your new sgian dubh sounds unique. Well done. I hope you are a Clan Maxwell member, perhaps we'll see you at the games the 25th or 26th this month in Richmond. My latest sgian dubh might not pass the test of authenticity...I'd like feedback. I picked it up at a Pow Wow in King William County, Native American made with a short black obsidian blade 2 3/4" and antler handle, overall length 5 1/2". I like the cultural meld. Here's hoping for good rather than appropriate weather. REVIRESCO!
