wooden sgian dubh?

[KiltedMariner]

Mariner,

I got a handmade (lathe turned) safety sgian dubh made of oak from a whiskey barrel, from "Turned Out Fine" (aka Richard Shann) email: richardshann@btinternet.com. He lives in Hawick Scotland. I don't have time to post a picture (at work now) but I'm very happy with it aesthetically--it is Scottish handmade, classy, and has gotten compliments. It's fun telling folks that it's made from an old whiskey cask. I forget exact price--but I think around $20 and under $10 for shipping. My town has stringent knife laws, and I wear my kilt several times a week, so a quality safety SG is an important part of my attire.

You beat me to it. That's the store I was talking about!
I think I'll get myself one of those for daywear, they're really nice

They're OK. I hope I can find something that looks more like a real sgean dubh.
