    Thought I would share this.

    As I was doing the whole admin thing on my reenactment troop's Facebook, I happened upon this and thought that there may be a few people on here that would be able to appreciate the beauty of this piece. It's an Edwardian Sgian dubh. Enjoy.

    Beautiful engraving. Not something I would wear, but I would definitely put it on display.

    Formal affairs must have been quite a show in those days.

    Lovely indeed! This would pair quite nicely with white tie and a handlebar moustache.

    That's quite a knife. Can you spell 'ornate'?

    I've got the mustache and I could probably get the tie but I doubt I can afford that beautiful knife.
