Last month I started a blade which I had originaly intended to create a sgian dubh with an integral bolster... Well as you can see, it didnt end up being a sgian dubh, but I thought that I'd share it anyways. This is the 5th knife that I've made now, and I'm hoping to get better and faster. You can sort of see from the forged shape how I intended to get a sgian dubh blade from it, but then I guess the metal just told me "I'm going to be a drop point hunter instead" and that's how it turned out.

It's a forged O1 integral hunter with a quilted sycamore handle.



Here are some in progress pictures.












I etch my name and logo myself as well.
Also here's a full side-on view of the knife


Now that this blade is done, I'm going to get to work for real on another sgian dubh =) I need to get a sgian done because someone I know has comissioned me to make them one, they dont wear a kilt (yet! i'm working on it) but they love the blade style of a sgian dubh.
