Waiting for a new kilt

**ccga3359** · 24th August 07, 12:39 PM

6 - 8 weeks is not a long time in the kilt making business. It is about the norm, some do have to wait longer. To help the jones how about gettting the various accesories? Special kilt pin, sporran, hose and shirt spaced a week apart may help. Or else will drive you crazier. If it helps we all go through it. Another idea would be to cut the wait time for a new kilt by ordering an SWK.

Good ideas! Spending each week looking for an accessory will keep my mind off the time. Thank you

One of the problems is that I live in Seattle, WA. and anyone here caught carrying a knife that has a blade longer than 3 inches will be arrested. So, this is why I don't carry a sgian dubh or dirk. It's actually quite silly since you can get a gun permit and carry a handgun but you can't carry a blade longer than 3 inches. Go figure.

Sounds like an excellent reason for a sgian brew, the handle with a bottle opener instead of a blade. If you search DIY I think there is a thread or two on this. Also Rab has them on his site if you want a gorgeous high end one.

Delaware has some silly laws too so I can relate. Would love to carry a nice sgian around here. Not strictly illegal, but Delaware laws "bend" depending on who and where. I am saving for a Rab Gordon sgian brew myself.

Ah yes a Rab Gordon, Beautiful knives and sgian brews. He is also a member here. PM him perhaps he can fabricate one with a blade at 3".
