Missed this one. Very classy indeed! Personally I prefer brass to copper as it is more resistant to discoloring which tends to rubs off on our hands.

Nice looking combination.

Cheers Sussex. By all accounts it should be right up his street. It was a fun project, not a knife i would choose to make on spec but an interesting commission. I will definitely try the chain San-Mai again, plenty of improvement to be made in my forge welding technique. This one will just be a show piece so the chain is for rustic effect only. I would need cleaner tighter welds if it was going to be a real user. Griff

Yes black dagger, whether because of the traditional black handle or because of the dark nature of it's origin being a carried as a hidden knife. History

Cheers Jock. Seen some pieces on knife forums and liked the look. First time i have tried chainsaw chain....welds could be cleaner but it looks the part.

Following a request from a work colleague to make a Sgian Dubh for his son in-law this is the very rustic end result. I had a free hand the only request was his initials in runic writing somewhere on the knife. He works in forestry so i thought chainsaw chain forge welded to series 2 Land Rover spring was appropriate. The Yew handle is local to where he grew up.
