My first sgian dubh

[galeon]

Hello everybody,
I made sgian dubh for everyday needs. I hope it looks traditionally.
Total lenght 230 mm (9 inch)
Knife length 215 mm (8,5 inch)
Blade is from blacksmith Oleg Milovidov(Ukraine). The steel used is 52100, about 59 HRC, 100 x 28 x 4 mm (4 x 1,1 x 0,16 inch)
Bog oak handle and matching sheath with a carving, waxed finish, Baltic Amber pommel stone.




Anyway, here is the result. Comments and advice for future projects are more than welcome!
Thanks for your time!

LOVE IT!!! I love the attention to detail with the thistle on the scabbard. How did you do the knot work on the blade itself? Acid etch? Did you heat treat it?

That's a fine knife and sheath.....I'd put it in my sock.
