Sgian Dubh and the Church

[Bog Trotter]

Yeah, my sgian is mostly ornamental as is my kilt pin. That's why I carry a pocket knife in my sporran. The boys like my sgian and thinks it cool. Some of the elderly ladies at church will marvel at the kilt and ask about that little black thing in my knee socks (LOL).

Can't imagine going anywhere without a knife. That's gotten me in trouble in airports when I forgot and had to give one away before security. Now I have one permanently stashed at daughters house so only feel naked during the flight.

I have worn my Sgian to church, but they were mostly kirkin' services so wasn't out of place. If it was causing consternation in others, I'd leave it off, but that's the only reason.

My sgian is Damascus steel and sharper than my pocket knife. If I have one I don't need the other.

What he said.....I had a Rodeo coach (yes rodeo teams have coaches) once tell me the three most useless items in the world are; teats on a boar, a unloaded gun, and a dull knife.

My Sigan is not ornamental. Peace is in your heart, not your tools. Respect for others feelings, especially in church leads me to leave the sigan in the car, unless I am in full dress; but occasionally I get tripped up on that one as well. The other day I had a woman ask me if I had my "sock knife" as they needed a knife to cut the plastic packaging off some new choral sheet music! Go figure!
