Couldn't agree more. A decent sgian dubh is just the thing for attacking the cheese-- if, unlike St. Amish , you don't sweat like a field hand you should still casually wipe the blade of your sgian dubh before using it on the cheddar... that's just common courtesy. (Of course, it also lets you make a bit of a show out of producing your sgian dubh, which really gets up the noses of those blokes in trousers who've been jealously sneering at your kilt all evening.)
