ruggero 120 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi all, here i a make a Sgian Dubh for a swiss piper band member. Blade from damascus ( to hard ) 1095 / 15N20. 100mm long, 28mm high and 4.5mm thick. Tropical woodhandle. I not remember the name. 100mm long. Stainless steel fittings. Made from finger rings.

Kevin Colwell 143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 the blade steel is nice, and the copper alloy pieces are good. The wood could be lighter portions of blackwood? I am not sure, though. It looks like it will polish well, and be attractive, though. This will be fun to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
ruggero 120 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi Kevin, the fittings are from stainless steel. Sorry for the bad pic. Ruggero Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua States 1,781 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) The wood looks like Cocobolo to me. Does it have a feeling like it is already waxed? Nice looking blade and fittings. I really like the knot work. Edited November 5, 2016 by Joshua States Link to post Share on other sites
