You GOTTA be poor...they have one on sale for like $10....hang in.

$37 for the nice horn handled one under dirks...

For those who are interested in decently made traditional sgian dubhs (i.e. carved wooden hilts, leather sheaths, carbon steel blades, etc.) that don't cost a fortune, there is a line put out by John Barnett in the UK that are quite reasonable in price (£14 + shipping) and better looking & more traditional than much of what is offered elsewhere in the same price range:









The same maker also offers a line of dirks in matching styles for around £53 + shipping:







These can be found on ebay, and through several other on-line merchants. I have purchased some from a company called Bay Tree Interiors in North Yorkshire, UK, and had good service from them.
