When is a dirk appropriate?

[McMurdo]

It was noted above that the dirk is always to be worn on the right side. I understand that the sgian dubh is also to be worn on the right, but I'm left-handed, and if I have little use for a small pig-sticker in my sock, I have even less use for one in my right sock!

I always wear the sgian dubh on the left, and would likely do the same with a dirk. Is this considered bad form? Or is it, as I have always treated it, nobody's business but my own?

Just to illustrate MacMillian's point, this is my Address to the Haggis from our Burns Night, notice as a left hander I am able to draw the dirk with my left hand.

I've seen many address to the haggis in my life and I must say this is, if not the best, one of the best I've ever seen !

Congratulations !
