Drink plenty of water while out and about.
Heat exhaustion and dehydration are not problems you want to mess with.

Completed this yesterday.

Rowan wood handle collected in the Scottish Highlands. Non-lead pewter bolster & pommel. Stainless-steel blade, reasonably sharp.

The pommel's end has an imbedded red granite pebble collected along the seashore in the western Highlands. It has been machined & polished flush with the pommel's flat end.

This is for sale. A leather sheath is included, though not shown here.

Very good looking sgian - excellent work on the stone and pommel. Traditionally, highlanders would carry a small piece of Rowan to ward off witches.

I knew that iron was carried to ward off faeries, but didn't know that tidbit regarding rowan wood. I'll use it as a selling point.

NB: Faeries of Highland lore weren't 'Tinkerbells'. Usually they were malignant little bastards bent on being unpleasant to humans.

All I see are the words "Posted Image", sounds as if it is pretty wicked though.
