Problem comes because we're both students and my budget isn't exactly huge, £60 is the maximum I could go. Is there anywhere you could recommend for a nice cheap sgian-dubh of reasonable quality in Glasgow? It doesn't have to actually function as a knife though, just a sort of ornamental one would be good.
Also do I have to be 21 to buy it (only 19)
Thanks very much
There are many more options if you're willing to buy online... and I believe you only need to be 18 to buy a knife in the UK. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

But how about this £25.00 sgian from Slanj in Glasgow?


They're having an ex-hire sale there just now too, which boasts some excellent deals. Might be worth talking to your lucky man's parents or friends to see if anyone wants to chip in:
