Flairball, my suggestion is that you find the sgian dubh you like, at the price you wish to pay, and then ask the seller to have it sharpened for you. If he can't or won't, then move on to your second choice. The sgian dubh is a tool and not an essential bit of Highland dress. Most of the advertisers on this forum sell standard makes and some will even take your commission to make something very special just for you. Some of the standards available out there are pretty worthless as tools, but my experience is that all those who advertise on XMarks stand behind their products.
