Just finished a Sgian Dubh project I had to clean off the bench today.

Material: 5160 hardened and tempered
Fittings: Silver alloy
Grip: Kingwood
Tang is through and peened over a brass washer.
Total Length: 7 inch
Blade Length: 3.75 inch

Polished up real pretty, I always hate that feeling of despair having to let a finished piece go.
Thanks goes to my fiance Hayley for taking the pictures. She's a better hand at a camera than I'll ever be.
