John Nowill and Sons have been manufacturing and designing quality British knives in Sheffield for six generations. The company name was granted by the Cutlers Company of Hallamshire on the 27th April 1700. They produce excellent knives and tools using the best of materials and traditional know how that can only come from over three hundred years in the business.
The beautifully made Scottish Sgian Dubh is firmly rooted in the tradition of the company and is a fine example of the knife makers art. It has a fine ground polished stainless steel blade with a capped Scottish stag handle. It comes complete with a decorative dress sheath.

Add to BasketI've come to expect, after years of searching, that the only way to get a good Sgian Dubh is to hand forge and make one yourself. This one is typical of the type, being blunt, stainless steel, and poor quality sheath. I have a 'Damascus' one, which is let down by the sheath, and plastic gem stone glued to the handle. I might take that Damascus blade and attempt to make a new handle and sheath for it.....Pity manufacturers can't just produce a nice one.....
Was very surprised at th weight of this knife ! The horn handle was huge , plus ground so that it was nearly all white and slippery in the hand . Sheath is plastic and metal , also heavy ! Cap on pommel plain stainless steel . Sgian duhb are meant to be worn in the top of a sock . Hmmmmm, strong socks needed for this heavy bulky knife ! I suppose it looks pretty from a distance ......... Add to which it made with stainless steel , which to be fair I knew , but it is hard to find a proper carbon sgian duhb theese days , So a replica of a traditional knife made with modern materials. My fault for going with stainless steel , If you like shiny flashy knives then this is for you . Not me . I have actually replaced the handle with a nice piece of ash , much better now , my wife used it as a steak knife ... She likes it The hunt for a carbon one continues ...
