With the building of a new shed, I finally decided to build myself a forge and start back at smithing, something I had only played with in the past. The forge is a historic-styled, side draft forge with a not-so-historic electric fan that I installed. I am forging using homemade coal and only hand tools. To see available smithed items, check out the "Currently For Sale" page.

I have not been much on wearing a sgian dubh in the past as much of what is available is not very useable. Some sgianan are very pretty but not useable. I am also one who does not like bulky things in my hose. The only really good sgianan dubh that I have seen are quite dear in price. I decided that it was time to start forging my own. I wanted to create sgianan as comfortable as possible. My goal was l to make a reasonable, real knife with a razor-sharp edge that can be used for cutting rope, dressing a grouse, gralloching a deer, or slicing some apples. I want them to be working, functional, yet traditional knives for folks that really use them.
