How is it pronounced?

This-

Arrived in the mail today. It is far more attractive in person. Really. And it begs to be held. And it is the first knife I have had that came with a quiver of sheaths. This knife will be on my leg during a wedding ceremony I shall be performing soon. I will also be wearing a kilt so it has relevance. It is my first sgain dubh. Sgane doo?

Googled this: "Try ski an doo (but say the ski-an as one word). " Mike

I think it's pronounced, "Sweeeeet!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skean_dhu

Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [s̪kʲɪnˈt̪uh]

but the handle ain't black, so is it really a Skean Dhu?

hell, there's a multitude of ways to spell the name, never mind pronouncing it.

the important part will be when you say "I now pronounce you man and wife!"

Great looking knife and sheaths!

The mail man was good to you...

 

[koyote]

skeeeeeen dooo. or something

interestingly enough, most of the traditional ones I've found aren't black. Horn handles are pretty common.

 

[762 shooter]

skeeeeeen dooo. or something

That is close enough to what I say. With it on my hip, no one is going to argue the point...

Love it. Except I'd want it single edged.

 

[koyote]

I have done some in single edged. they seem to sell more slowly. I'll warn you when the next one is going to go up

I've always pronounced it "skane doo"

I don't tend to like double edges on knives but this one just works. I wouldn't have it any other way.

No. I got lucky.

I'm working on modifications to the basic offering. Right now the "basic" setup is a sock sheath and a belt sheath either the patriot (MOLLE) style or the mini explorer (snap retention). The IWB is available, and all 4 can be had, but I'm not sure if I need what is best for a stock piece.

Neato. I love Sgian Dubh's. (Tons of spellings as well as unpronouncable...LOL.)

That's not a bad idea. It's like the mandatory nessmuk, but more fun

We should figure out a way to arrange a "themed" photoshoot of a bunch of makers' sgian dubhs
