ruggero 116 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. [/img] Ruggero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin (The Professor) 114 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joshua States 1,094 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
