I have the same concern about sgian dhus. This is nothing new--Thompson complained about the edge on most sgian dubhs in So You're Going to Wear the Kilt.

I won't wear one that is not functional--I'd rather do without (and carry a pocket knife in my sporran). Fortunately, I have two that I bought years ago from a Chicagoland knife dealer (don't recall the name). No fancy hilts, but the blades are OK.
