    Where would I buy a sgian dubh blade?

    I've seen a few folks make beautiful custom sgian dubhs lately and wondered about trying my hand at it too. Is there a place where I can order just the sgian dubh blade.. or other sgain items?

    Glad you mentioned it, I didn't know about this. I'll check out his site. I'd rather give my business to an XMarks member if at all possible.

    There are many sources of good knife blades and entering that in google will give you many minutes of things to look at. BUT - If you are looking for a traditional shape in a sgian dubh, the above places mentioned, are about it.

    I would add in Matt at Caulfield leather as a blade source if you want to buy from an x marker. My reason for saying that is that Rab seems pretty well booked for the next few months for custom work.

    I bought a sgian dubh from Matt. I know you've seen his work, ardchoille, but I'm adding this anyway:

    Thank you, I'll add him. Yes, I saw that knife.. and I love it. I'm hoping my skills will be at that level someday.
