sgian dubh blades

[Ryan Ross]

Thanks to all. I think I'll stick with the carbon blade offered by Atalanta Cutlery (?)

At least I'll know what to expect when I sharpen it.

If you get one from Atlanta Cutlery, could you let me know about it's quality? I live pretty close to their ware house and show room, and go there from time to time, but always forget to take a look at their sgian dubhs.

I've been carrying one of several made from their blades lately, and I am very pleased with it. They don't give much details about the metal, only say that it is "high carbon" but it held up slicing and cutting many (about 100) boxes apart yesterday before needing the edge to be dressed.

One older one is developing some nice patina, that I like.

Ah, thanks for the intel. I may have to pick up a couple, next time I'm in that neighborhood.
