Daywear Sgian Dubh???

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Since we don't know where you live, it is impossible to give you any meaningful advice; what may be legal in Oklahoma City would probably land you in the clink in Boston or Toronto. That said, since a sgian dubh is a specific style of knife associated exclusively with Highland attire, the more you deviate from the established norm the greater your potential for a run-in with the law becomes.

You’re concern and admonishment is spot on; thank you. I’m well aware that the local ordinances are very restrictive concerning edged weapons. My question was sartorial vis-à-vis what is legal. As experienced forum members can deduce I’m new at this. I’m trying to grasp the evolutionary concept of the sgian dubh. I’ve been pondering the evolution of the sgian dubh, as we know it today from its original function, much as the kilt has evolved from times gone by via the proscription of ’47, on through Sir Walter Scott’s resurrection of the modern kilt for King George VI’s visit, and changes that may have occurred still later on.
