    No, but I had a sheath made once I got the dirk. It has a wood core and is wool lined (like a sword scabbard) so it is larger than a traditional leather dirk sheath. I'd like to have a more historically accurate sheath for it some day.

    I've posted these in a separate thread in "A Real Sgian Dubh Made in Scotland" section of the forum, but here is the dirk being made for me, meant to compliment the sgian dubh Terry made for me a few months ago. Like the sgian dubh, it represents my old shetland sheepdog, "Ben", and incorporates a 1961 Scottish Shilling affixed to the pommel.

    Here are two dirks I recently purchased. They aren't as nice as many of the dirks shown on this thread, but I'm happy with them.
