Several years ago, my daughter bought a really fab sgian dubh when we were in Scotland. When it's stuck in your kilt hose, it looks like a carved stag horn sgian dubh. But, it's really just a carved horn with no metal blade. The other end of the horn is carved into a flat, blunt "blade" that holds the thing in your kilt hose. What I really like about it is that it's _light_. Every other sgian dubh I've tried is _heavy_ and tends to drag your kilt hose down on a long parade march, even if your flashes are cinched up tight.
I can't persuade her to part with it (for obvious reasons!!). If I'd been a piper at the time, I would have bought one, too. But, alas, to my regret, I didn't and now wish I had. Anyone know where I can buy one??
