If people are ready to accept sgian don'ts, or sgian brews in lieu of a real knife, I don't know why you couldn't substitute a small ornately carved celtic (of course) cross.

My last kilted outing was in Guthrie, Oklahoma. No dagger-like knives are allowed to be carried...period. I checked the statutes to be sure. What does one do under those kind of circumstances? We all went without that's what and no one raised an eyebrow.

Would one be considered to be improperly dressed by not wearing a sgian dubh in formal attire?

What about when wearing casual attire?

Would it be wrong to replace the sgian duhb with someting else in the hose or is that considered a faux pas?

What is the history behind the sgian dubh?

I used to always wear one in the kilt, but with my ordination coming up I am thinking of no longer carrying one with me.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
