I always wear the sgian dubh on the left, and would likely do the same with a dirk. Is this considered bad form? Or is it, as I have always treated it, nobody's business but my own?
Just to illustrate MacMillian's point, this is my Address to the Haggis from our Burns Night, notice as a left hander I am able to draw the dirk with my left hand.
