When I ordered this, I expected the traditional sock knife work in the kilt hose top. These knives typically run between 6-8 inches long and are fairly thin. This particular product is more of the scottish dirk that is meant to be worn on the belt. It is in no way a sgian dubh.

i just recieved my dagger today, its nice, but i was a little dissappointed with the use of plastic on it. the molding is clean and it has good detail, but the seam had an excess of plastic "flash" and isa little rough. the only other complaints i have are the use of two different molded in designs on the handle, braided leather on the front and wood grain on the back. and the "Stainless Made in China" engraved on the back of the blade. if these things arent of any bother to you, then this is a great product. it looks nice, and the blade came really sharp! i just think that the factory look of the plastic takes away from the authenticity of the piece.

I purchased one of these recently at a substantial discount which is the only reason I didn't rate it at one star. Other than the blade being reasonably solid metal and fairly sharp, the quality goes down from there. I had to spend time cleaning the glue used to attach the various sheath and handle decorations from the "plastic" handle and sheath. I would NOT give this as a serious gift to anyone I know. For a couple of bucks it makes a decent letter opener or possibly a paper weight. I would not knowingly buy a second product from the same manufacturer.

Yep, another great gift for my boss. He will really like this one. It is fancy and would please any collector.

I was rather disappointed. The foam inside the hilt was poor craftsmanship. The sheath doesn't stay on the blade very well, it wobbles in the sheath. Whatever is in the sheath to hold the blade marks the blade up. ...And it IS too large to be a proper sgian dubh. It worked in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it.

This knife is a good buy for the price. It has a heavy blade and a hard sheath. The blade has a bright shiney look. The sheath looks a little like plastic but it is not. The detailing is nice. The blade is very sharp.
