    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Got it yesterday. I agree with the positive comments above. I do feel the need to comment particularly on the badge, as it is considerably more clear and sharp in detail than many such cast items.

    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Mine arrived a few days ago and it had its first public outing last Saturday.

    Although it feels heavier in the hand, it feel lighter and much more comfortable in the sock than my other one.

    And indeed the badge is very well done.

    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    I stand to be corrected here, but I have a feeling that one of our members here had more than a little imput in the design and launch(re-launch?)of said knife some years ago, without the Xmarks badge of course. Perhaps his modesty is preventing him from claiming the credit that he is due?

    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Mine arrived yesterday as well. I am very happy with it. I had one of the generic versions before, which I am sure I paid more for. One of my son's made off with it. This one is nicer and was less expensive.

    I intend to wave it under my son's nose when he is home next, and then hide it well.

    Re: A rather distinctive Sgain Dubh

    Another arrival of a fine blade here. I have had one for a number of years but this one has a better finish on the handle and was half the price of the previous one. Great find Steve and thanks for the opportunity to be able to acquire this one.
