A simple, improvised Sgian -dubh

I found an old throwing-knife laying around, that I'd gotten a set of (3) some years ago.
Over the years, it had gotten dinged, bent, etc.. so, no longer useful as a throwing knife, I decided to modify it.

Into, roughly, an improvised Sgian-Dubh (Scottish Dagger of the 1600s-1700s)

Originally, this knife had no handles, just bare metal. So, I made some quickie ones from some scrap Oak I had around.


And, I made a simple sleeve-sheath for it- that can be tucked into a boot, or a pocket, etc.


Eventually, I will grind, hone and polish the blade some more.
