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

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

Best regards

This one was made for me in 1985 by a man who had a little shop in a basement off of the Royal Mile. As I recall the sterling silver trim was all of his design, and he did his own carving as well.

Best regards,

Jake

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

And this is unfurled.

WICKED!!

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.
