** SOLD ** Sgian Dubh 'Scavaig' - Bocote and Bog Oak

[Paul Baleta]

Hi Folks

Here is the first of a pair of Sgian Dubhs I finished off last week

My take on a traditional Scottish Sgian Dubh - the 'Scavaig'. This one has been crafted with a brass bolster that is solid (not a furrule), an oiled Bocote handle centre and a pommel in Bog Oak that is between 2000 and 5000 years old. The handle pin has been peined, domed and polished to a satin finish, with a mosaic pin in the pommel and detailed filework on the spine. The sheath is also 100% handmade with saddle stitching and toolwork.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Blade: Böhler N690 Stainless Steel (HRC +/- 60)
• Blade thickness: 3.7mm (0.145")
• Blade length: 98mm (3.86")
• Overall length: 198mm (7.8")
• Weight without sheath: 122g (4.2oz)
• Weight with sheath: 150g (5.3oz)
• Handle material: Brass bolster, Bocote, vulcanized fibre, brass liners and a Bog Oak pommel
• Fittings: Brass with pin in the pommel
• Traditional hidden tang design. Comes with a custom fitted sheath as seen.

Your knives are the quintessential Sgian Dubhs of the 21st century, to my way of thinking.
