    They're smoothed and polished on the backs to be comfortable to wear but more natural looking than a flattened surface.
    The pieces of antler that I chose, especially on the top two Sgians were naturally more oval than round where they meet the blades which helped a great deal.
    I'll try to get somemore photos tomorrow,

    One of them will be available as 2 of them were made to order.

    These particular blades were ones that I re-worked from blanks, I sell both the blanks and the finished blades from my web site, more photos and details about the blades here

    Great work Rab. Your Sgain Dubhs are on my highly desired list. Some day I hope to talk with you about a custom order not for a while though

    Cheers

    Thanks Erin,
    I'd originally planned to put a silver pin through the ebony pommel - still undecided on it....
    How's your own Sgian Dubh coming along ? Im looking forward to the next set of photos.
    Regards,
    Rab
