Hi Folks
Something I just finished up a week or so ago... I think its been a while since I've had one of these available.
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 a beautiful twist pattern damascus (pattern welded steel) - this is carbon steel so will need maintenance. The blade also features detailed filework on the spine.
The bolster is solid copper 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 African Blackwood 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: 2.4 mm (0.9")
- Blade length: 99mm (4")
- Overall length: 201mm (8")
- Handle material: Solid copper bolster, vulcanized fibre and copper liners, stabilized Maple Burl spacer, African Blackwood handle centre and stabilized Black Palm pommel.
- Fittings: Copper 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
