    Very nice and looks good in your kilt hose!

    I have looked at those several times but in every place I know, double edged knives are against the law. Did you file one side down?
    Somebody ought to.

    Very nice! I admired the biodag a couple of summers back when I was at the STM in Franklin. Unfortunately, the double-edge is forbidden for carry in Texas, so it's out for me. I hope you'll enjoy yours!

    From what the maker told me the name Biodag means two edged, just as sgian dubh means black knife. As he knows more Gaelic than I do I have taken his word for it.

    Ok I just got clarification from Mr. Bullman. Biodag can mean either dirk or dagger depending on context.

    Thanks very much (pictures fall a bit short of doing the ramhorn justice)! Luckily here in California the laws are geared more towards weapon concealment so as long as it remains completely visible you're okay.

    I'll 'aye' that. Yes. California has some very strange laws regarding blades (mentioned only as this does pertain to the carrying of all blades, including Highland wear). I'm not certain (but it's highly doubtul) if special consideration is given for cultural dress here in California. Always be mindful when out and about with your sgian dubh or (if you mist wear one) your dirk.
