Hi Riverkilt,
Not all Sgian Dubh are blunt and useless as knives. I got one a couple of years back from a British sword supplier (if any one wants the website PM me) that has a folded steel blade (commonly called Damascus) which is superb. It takes a keen edge and is about the best quality I've ever seen on a Sgian Dubh.
It looks the part too. I haven't even got a kilt yet, but my Sgian Dubh has a purple stone on the top, so it'd be nice to match the kilt to the stone
I'm tempted to get a safety Sgian Dubh too (bladeless) for the more security tight situations.


Jeff.
