I've so far drawn a blank on this one but are there any blade smiths out there able and willing to make a Sgian Dubh blade up for me? I've been thinking about this for a while, that I want to get a blade for a useable, and practical Sgian Dubh that will retain a good edge and in Carbon steel. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi shug, getting my sgian dubh mixed up with me dirks but the guy I was thinking of is Knoxi82 thats his YT channel he does some ornate work. The best reasonable priced ready mades are all SS like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Officer-Wooden-Handled-Utility-Sgian/dp/B00FYW1CO2/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1400871754&sr=8-12&keywords=sgian+dubh or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cap-Horn-Sgian-Dubh-Boxed/dp/B007OBFPYE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ap_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1E0G5EAH93NG8NJXQ7EQ But as has been said Ime sure Tony, hillbill ,Kristophish or any of the other fine knife makers on here could make one given pics and criteria, good luck,Ken
