    that's beautiful.

    mine's stainless, and while it's a great blade which i use for everything, as god intended, yours is a thing of beauty. i love patterns welded blades.

    The closest I ever got to a Sgian Dubh was the Gerber Guardian I called all through my teen an college years. Being a McIntyre it seemed like the natural thing to do. I have yet to wear a kilt though, that's a group activity IMO. One man in a kilt, people wonder, twenty men in kilts, they cross the street. Mac

    I asked my dad once what we were. He said,

    "You're half Scotch, the rest is water."

    True it is.

    Hi lucznik,

    Above is Dan's web page and has contact info. I don't know what you mean by make them commercially. Like buying a lot of six???????

    Dan makes custom knives and other ornamental iron work. This isn't his full time gig so its not a here is my catalogue pick what you want arrangement. I put down a deposit and waited patiently for my knife. His work is excellent and the knives are meant to be used. A knife like that should go for around $250 to $300 ebony handle amber stone and costume silver work.
