Hi Folks
It's been a while, but I have a few knives available. Starting with the first of two Sgian Dubhs...
The Sgian Dubh 'Coruisk' - a new variant on a traditional Scottish Sgian Dubh. The 'Coruisk' features a long, slim, highly finished blade with a flared, solid bolster, an accent spacer and pommel. The 'Coruisk' has an elegant and dressy feel compared to the more rustic 'Scavaig' design.
The blade is crafted in M390 stainless steel - a very high performance powder metallurgy 'super' steel. This modern steel enables a lustrous satin sheen on the blade and has excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention. The blade also features detailed filework on the spine.
The bolster is solid brass and not just a ferrule (metal band around the wood). Behind the bolster is beautifully figured Maple burl that has been stabilized. The handle center is Ebony with a stabilized Black Palm pommel which features a decorative mosaic pin at the back. The handle pin is peened, domed and then polished to a satin finish.
The sheath is 100% handmade in-house with saddle stitching and Celtic knot toolwork to match the color and feel of the knife.
- Blade thickness: 3.5mm (0.14")
- Blade length: 100mm (4")
- Overall length: 200mm (8")
- Handle material: Solid metal bolster, vulcanized fibre and brass liners, stabilized Maple Burl spacer, Ebony centre and stabilized Black Palm pommel.
- Fittings: Brass main pin and mosaic pin in the pommel.
- Traditional hidden tang design with filework on the spine. Comes with a custom fitted sheath as seen.
SOLD

Thanks for looking!
