Yeah, what the Marine said.
To me, even an ornamental knife has to be functional. It should be able to clean under my nails, cut a piece of string, or process large game with equal ease. That being said, all commercially made sgian dubh I've seen have been duller than a hammer. We looked at many many in Scotland and all were dull with a few even having questionable points. Bummer.
