What's Your Position on Flashes?

**Jack Daw** · 23rd February 08, 07:30 AM

So, for those that wear their flashes forward, does your sgian dhu align with the flash or is it at 3:00 for your righties and 9:00 for you lefties?

(I'm a lefty and get ragged sometimes from sorts who say I'm wearing my sgian dhu on the wrong shank. So, I have to tel them the obvious, which I'm getting tired of doing.)

I wear my sgian pretty well centered over the right flash. It seems to ride better there than in the 3 o'clock position because my shin just to the right of the tibia is a bit flatter.

If you feel down the anterior surface of your lower leg, you'll feel a slight crease just medial to the tibia, between the tibia and the soleus muscle. I can tuck a sgian in there and wear it in comfort all day. This more-or-less aligns with my flashes, but that's coincidental.

Same place I put mine.
