Sgian Dubh and the Church
Since wearing my kilt to church, I've carried my sgian dubh in my hose, out of habit. Some folks have inquired as to why I carry a weapon to church. Of course, I've explained that the Sgian is traditional and more of a utility knife than a weapon, and still I am asked, is it necessary. Now, the minister does not mind, but some folks find it strange. I wear my sgian tucked down inside my hose with only a small portion of the top exposed.My question is this, is it considered proper to wear the sgian dubh to church services? I understand that it's not necessary, but I wear it out of respect for tradition. I appreciate any imput and advice you may have.
