    Sgian Dubh casual, formal, both?

    I'm not sure what level of dress this sgian dubh fits. I really like it and I'm hoping I can wear it both day and night. What do you guys think?

    I think you could get away with wearing that at several levels of formality. Nice looking sgian!

    Both. Without a doubt, it can be worn for all occasions.

    I would say that sgian could be worn for a myriad of functions from Burns Nights to a get together with friends and heck even just because, at £91.95 it should be.

    Staghorn is generally considered appropriate for both casual and formal. I'd say you got yourself a very nice, very versatile sgian.

    Cool. And it's no wonder seeing it as one or the other was so tricky.
