    I carry one of the smaller editions of the 'Swiss Army Knife' in my pocket at all times and whatever I am wearing. When kilted it will be in my weskit pocket on the starboard end of my watch-chain or, if I want to wear my wrist-watch instead, the knife will be in my sporran. The little knife is a utility tool , useful for all sorts of things. The sgian is regarded by most people as an ornamental weapon and hereabouts while the Law tolerates me wearing one, it frowns upon me drawing it out in public for any purpose. I frequently wear my kilt to Church and, the Law notwithstanding, I have never worn the sgian at Church because of its association with weaponry.

    While I have never worn anything other than gartered hose with my kilt, I guess if I were to wear loose hose rumpled round my ankles then I simply wouldn't wear a sgian dubh, but this is not a look I have plans to experiment with.
