Hey you Old Fart..... How you say Sgien Dubh, is it sickem dude, use to tell me dog to do that. They all look great and you don't need two hands to pick them up. They kind of look like stock removal to me but you forge everything, right?

Just giving you a hard time but thats what Old Farts are for. Those look like they ought to disappear quick....... OF#1
 
Raymond (sorry about the OF#2 mixup Old Farts are sometimes hard to tell apart)-

It's pronounced 'skene doo' Means black knife in Scottish Gaelic. Originally they were carried hidden in the armpit and later/currently are carried in the top of the knee high socks when worn with a kilt

Gib-those are very nice! As a Scotsman myself (Clan Chattan) I'd be proud to wear one. Much better looking than a lot of the junk sgians sold as traditional highland wear.

Mongo, I just made a simple sheath with welt on both
sides having a tight fit, thy don't have any belt loop
or clip as thy are carried in the top of the tall
socks that thy wear.

Bruce. mounting the stones was ease, first I bought
some cab's from Rio Grande then some bezels from Indian
Jewelry Supply, Thy are the only place I could find
that had them in Nickle. Soldered the bezel to the
pommel and installed the stone by bending the bezel over
to hold it in. Really nothing to it.

Ray, I departed from my normal methods and did these
stock removal.
