Here's the sgian I had made for our wedding:

Wow that's nice. Who made it and where?

Best regards

Perhaps this could be called a contemporary sgian, worn on the outside.

And this is unfurled.

WICKED!!

Replica KaBar

Kathy Lare's husband adds a leather sheath with USMC emblem to a replica KaBar. Its made for a letter opener - aluminum blade - but I love it for the statement the distinctive handle makes sticking out of the top of my kilt hose. 7 1/4" overall.

I'll wear it with my Leatherneck tartan kilt for sure.

That's a beauty! (Wondering if I could just wash my Ka-Bar in hot water and shrink it...)

I once piped a wedding for a Marine couple; all the men had rented kilts & PC's, and the groom had a Ka-Bar stuffed in his sock. I told him that I'd usually caution someone that they wouldn't want to give others the impression that they were overcompensating for some physical shortcoming, but as a captain in the Marine Corps, that shouldn't be a problem.
