Sgian Dubh

[Rex_Tremende]

I'm not a fan of sticking a sgian in my hose. Carrying a knife around here is frowned on even in formal situations, and getting a dummy seems pointless.

Are there other traditions for sticking something else there?

I used to wear a belt knife around Cincinnati all the time with no comment made. (pre-kilt days). I don't see a difference, really. I believe Rex Tremende is from Cinti, and is fairly traditional in his dress. I wonder if he can shed some light?
Is it the town in genertal or the UC campus?

Well, like Guy, I'm not in the habit of carrying around a knife, and I'm also with Rathdown; I don't feel the need to wear substitutes just for the sake of sticking something down there, though not for his reasoning. But as I've noted elsewhere, I could be swayed to wear a sgian duhb, and I wouldn't think that I'd have a problem most places I would go here out and about.

My guess is that UC wants to create a campus environment that feels safe for all students. It's probably easier for administrators to declare a ban on all such things rather than to carve out exceptions. The only tools you need to bring to class are your books and a sharp mind.

Regards,
Rex.
