thank you in advance
moderator if you think this would be better someplace else please move it thanks
My contemporary Sgian Dubh is a knife with a 4 inch blade that I have carried for well over 45 years and brings me many many memories of good times in the past. I think if a person wearing a "Sgian Dubh", no matter what style it is, uses common sense and respects the laws where he is wearing it, he shouldn't have any problems. Wearing a Sgian Dubh to the pub or any place serving alcohol or in any place not accustomed to people wearing kilted attire or in any place where any kind of blade is not acceptable then leave the Sgian Dubh at home.....it really isn't essential to wear one......Like I said use common sense it is likely to keep you out of trouble.....just my opinion though
