Have you checked out how the local law relates to those that carry a kirpan blade?

Post edited to remove note as to how kirpans and sgians might relate to each other.
The law in the UK states that a knife may be carried as part of national dress or for religious reasons. I wear my sgian when in Scotland and the only time I hand it over is during the evening at the door of city centre pubs. The doormen either hold onto it themselves while I'm in having a beer or, in some places, especially at Hogmanay, they have a lock-up box to hold the dozens they might have to care for while their pub is being patronised.
Food for thought, I trust.
Cheers
Bruce
