    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Mine arrived from Steve today, and I have to say I do like it. I don't yet know what sort of stainless steel it is or how well it'll sharpen up, but the way the edge bevel is "set" it was clearly intended to be a functional "working" blade. The "accessory tools" also appear solid, functional, no more "gimmicky" than a Swiss Army pocket knife or a Leatherman multitool.

    And the Xmarks crest is just too cool for words.

    One of my students (who's an instructor in her own right) just moved into a new place and is having a housewarming/dinner party Sunday afternoon/evening. There will be good food and lots of adult liquid libations, which will be a perfect opportunity to put this sgian through its paces.

    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Arrived yesterday, or was it Friday? Wifey gets the mail and tends to set things aside without mentioning them to me... perhaps as gentle punishment for my self-indulgent moments...

    Very nice!

    Well done, sir. I'm quite pleased, thank you much.
