Just put your pocket square in the top of your hose instead of the sgian dubh.
Better yet put your sgian dubh where the pocket square goes.
Oh, I forgot to
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

The sgian dubh is legal here when the blade is less than four inches and sharpened on only one side. Any longer blade would require a Firearms Identification Card, and its long process for approval in Massachusetts. No double edge blades are legal here except in your razor. My sgian is quite sharp and capable of cutting rope or anything else. The Scottish Letter Opener was intended to be tongue in cheek. As one of my neighbors has said of his sgian, it looks more lethal in the hose than out of the scabbard. When out and about many people see the cap badge, belt insignia, sporran, kilt pin and sgian dubh as emblematic devices that go with the kilt. For many, the fact that there is a blade there only becomes apparent when the sgian is drawn from the hose.
