Ive a lot of blades, but some are my favorites... the first is my Sgian Dubh, I forged the blade myself, made the handle I made from a piece of Lake Superior driftwood. It's sharp as can be and the first knife I ever made ![](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn118/az-scoob/291B3109-79C2-45B9-B5C1-AB77AA477286.jpg) Excellent piece of work. A fine tribute to Scottish culture too.

I have no blades... just a folding knife that my father gave to me years ago when I was ~10 to protect myself if I needed to. It's similar to this one... ![](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/H~QAAOSw9NxTvCpz/$_35.JPG)

A fine tribute to Scottish culture too. What steel dis you use? Also, simple, but classy and clean file work. Considered working on a file pattern for your signature?

Sorry for the delay in response!
I used 01 tool steel, forged it to shape from bar stock and finished with a 90 degree die grinder with sanding disks, hand polished with wet sanding, buffed with jewelers rouge and my polishing wheel. The file work was a first attempt as well.
As for the signature, no idea how to do that!

My second attempt, same steel, a full v grind on the blade (tapers from spine to edge smoothely) with a full distel taper (tapering from handle to tip smoothely) I've got a pic of the filework roughed in before I cleaned it up. ![](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn118/az-scoob/7B49CD33-184B-4E47-BF23-D2A002024ED8.jpg) ![](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn118/az-scoob/DA508C8B-53BB-4811-9151-6B41075ECA8C.jpg)

The handle is made from lightning struck wood, the guard is going to be a bronze casting of Mjölnir, Thor's hammer. Here is my test printing of it to be sure it was viable, I need to adjust the size, do a slow print and make the mold to have it cast. ![](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn118/az-scoob/B71F3015-CD72-4BAB-B5C3-517C3530C601.jpg)
