Multiple sgian dubhs
So, I typically wear a dubh in each hose (both were made by a MacLeod, close friend of the family) and now I find myself at the crossroads of a dilemma... my exponentially better half surprised me with a beautifully-made antler-handled dubh from the McVierh forge at the Bethabara Games in Winston-Salem, NC, some weeks back, and while I want to wear the dubh she got for me (I really do), I also feel like I'm doing my friend a dis-service by not showcasing his work, as it's nearly impossible to choose between which of his dubhs to wear. They both have a great sentimental value to me.
I came across a portrait of Alasdair Ranaldson MacDonnell of Glengarry, and it not only shows 3 daggers in a sheath on his belt, but two distinctive dubhs held in his right hose, one in front of the other.
I suppose my question is, what are y'all's opinions on multiple dubhs displayed at once?
Thanks!
