I've never seen the sort of 'sgian don't' before. Given the increased intolerance towards knives that is being shown in many places, I imagine we'll be seeing more and more of this sort of thing. I've even seen a few really nice quality sgian brews floating around: carved black wooden handles, silver fittings, etc.

That is a beauty Jock and also a nice piece of history. I can see why it is the only one you need!
