LOL, exactly. Which is why I'm inclined to think-- unless you get a cop who's having a really bad day-- that a sgian dubh is more likely to be "overlooked," or perhaps I should say "disregarded," as an obvious dress ornament than considered even in the same class as a pocket knife-- you can probably convince them "oh it's for tradition, it's just a part of the outfit" blah blah blah than to think of it as a knife/weapon (or at least I'd sure as hell try). Especially at some sort of Highland event where a LOT of people have one. (Or, maybe I'm the only one carrying a "live" blade at the Highland Games! Doubt it, though.)
