I had a thought last night that I'd donate all my pants (except one pair to wear in the forge) to charity, then I'd have to only wear kilts.

I've also decided that I'm getting a SWK. If I keep waiting like I have been I'll never get one. It may still be a while till I get one, I'm still trying to lose enough weight that I can get away with a 38", but after that, I'm getting one. Black Stewart, I think, though I'm still torn about a standard or heavyweight.
I know exactly how you feel. Wearing it is a liberating experience. What kind of forging do you do? I have thought about getting into bladesmithing, but it seems like something you can't really teach yourself.
