Sgian/Pride

[Caradoc]

As for the sgian dubh, I generally don't wear mine in the hose at all except at formal functions.

I might have it elsewhere on my person, though...

Same here. Except that there's no "might" about it.

In any circumstance that I can legally carry a blade, I do. Usually that'd be my Gerber Multi-lock.

As to beloitpiper's original post, I'm aware that some people consider their sgian to be equivalent to "jewelry." I don't.

Therefore, when I've done presentations and the like on school grounds, I always ask permission to bring the sharp toys, and if that's denied I ask if I might bring them if they're "peace-bonded." That means they're tied into their sheaths or scabbards in such a fashion that it takes a bit of doing to get them out again.

That's hard to do with a sgian dubh. If you absolutely must have something in your sock, and you can't carry a knife for legal reasons, why not a sgian brew or a comb, as some have mentioned?

Ya done well lad,

Many's the man who's surprised they can choose their garments from more than what their local habadasher offers.
