Nice work!

[hairydave82]

It's a Sgian Dubh by the look of it. A very nice looking one too. The handle's probably red deer antler with an amber insert. I think the 1st Bari looks amazing.

I love the second pipe, the dr. mills. and beautiful knife btw!

[Acaciavet]

Thats some great looking lumber Dan. Do you own any Charatans? I am a Charatan man I love those things

Very nice collection sir. Thanks for sharing, and good choice of music.

Do you have any plans on doing a vid on removing finishes? My first pipe was a Peterson's 306 dry system w/ an ebony finish. It started to "bubble" in a couple of little spots. I guess I was puffing too hard or something. Anyway i'ld like to remove the finish if that's possible. I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

What is the thing at the bottom? It looks like a pipe but has a gem on it? Incredible production values.

[DrGrabow10]

beautiful pipes...

Hi - can you tell me more about the Dr Mills? It's a beautifully shaped bulldog...

[alphaqlater]

Nice presentation. I really like those knives and the soft lines of that Bari bamboo pipe. I am actually getting into forging my own knife. A relative gave me some Elk antler that I might use for it as well. I hope to complete it soon with a Scandinavian grind.

[dubinthedam]

couldn't help it, I love the movies and the soundtrack even more..

[mibgd]

lol :) i love it....movies are some of my favs...goes well with the blade...reminds me a bit of the trip back to Italy from 2 .....Vito might have used a similar blade to gut Don Ciccio ;) arrivederci

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

Very nice, love the knife as well. Thank you for sharing!

[Flieger671]

Beautiful pipes and a lovely presentation! That knife look very special. I know many pipe carvers also make knifes, is this the case with this one?

Thanks for sharing!

Mike it's a Sgian Dubh, a Scottish knife worn in your long sock, sadly it's fake deer antler, the one at the back is a handmade Sgian Dubh (meaning Black Knife), these where usually made from bog oak (morta) or deer antler, long and short sword would be left outside the house, the dubh would kept to eat with or protect yourself.

[Flieger671]

Wow! Thanks Dub, one learns something new every day. I think I also got a clue to your YT-name. :-)

[dubinthedam]

....correct...Dublin mean Black Pool in gaelic (Dubh Lin). Bog oak looks black, I would love to own a Paolo Becker bog oak pipe, he's just begun working with the material.

[Flieger671]

Yes! I've seen a couple of morta pipes that look really great... but the prices!

[Patchh09]

These are beautiful, I currently only own Two basket pipes, and one old Whitehall pipes that was my great-grandfathers, I think I'll be getting a Butz-Choquin and a Peterson's next.

[dubinthedam]

There's no shame in a basket pipe, only owning one that you don't try to smoke....it's a good way to start. I love Butz-Choquin pipes, really great designs, and very good value for money. Peterson's take a while to break-in but when they do they're superb smokers.

[ItsThatGuy8669]

How many pipes do you own?

[dubinthedam]

Just over 50. Too many and just enough all at the same time.
