I wanted to attempt to make my own sgian dubh. I did a variation on the traditional blade, the blood gutter is actually open through the blade. The crest is the Military Police regimental crest (my regimental affiliation). THe blade is stainless steel, and the bolster is walnut. I still have to do a final polish on the blade and hone the edge, and stitch the sheath together (waiting for the leather cement to dry.) But, what say you lads so far?
