The Sgian Dubh

Congrats JB, that is a GREAT looking knife! Nice job as usual Christof!
 
this one is a bit longer than the norm, coming in at 5.25 - 5.5 inches of blade. Call it the Nugent sized Sgian Dubh.

Really nice. Mosaic pin is a great touch. Handle looks great. My favorite grind on the Sgian Dubh.
 
Yeah- I'm really leery of mosaic pins. I think they detract from a lot of well figured woods and most often don't "match" what the rest of the knife is doing.

On these 3 sgian dubhs I've done them on, they've worked out VERY well.
 
Here's another recent example- mammoth ivory and a very high, fine convex grind.

I've got... more than 15 knives ont he bench actively working right now, it's a bit disorganized. I've got 2 SD orders I'm working on, I'll try and get some decent photos. I have to time it right, rain doesn't work ;)
 
I REALLY like this one!!! The copper looks AWESOME!!! Mike

The copper tubing was worth waiting for. everything else clashes badly with what is otherwise a really nice handle material.

That was the last of that particular mosaic pin material, the rest of what I have is brass oriented- major clashing. (looks great on wenge, though)
 
I actually like this style of knife fits me heck under 8" which makes it practical to carry, etc. But what is the price on this knife?
