Dual Sheath Dashi

Celtic engraved matched set of left and right handed dashi in a dual-dashi-sheath

This was a very special commissioned project. It was so special in fact, we had to hold all photography of it until after it was given as a surprise gift. What you’re looking at are a pair of scalpeldashi, one in Ultramarine Depths and one in Sandworm Ivory. The former is a typical “right handed” dashi, while the latter is left-handed. This is not as simple as you might think, as they are not simple mirror images of each other. The two were paired together in a custom ambidextrous dual-dashi sheath. A celtic knot engraving then covers the the whole piece, dashi and sheath.

While the design was originally conceived as a matching pair sort of thing, around the office we quickly started picking up this dual sheath for our own uses. It will hold two right (or left) handed dashi, and provides convenient quick access to them. Given the huge diversity of blade styles available, this became a convenient way to have multiple on hand.
