I'm assuming (yes, yes, I know....) that "Dad" is expressing the "no son of mine is gonna wear a skirt" type mentality. If that's the case I would also arm the lad with knowledge before I gave him a kilt or a sgian (BTW, I would suggest a Sgian Don't of some kind first, maybe a comb or even a bubble blower loop if he's young enough) so he'll be able to understand himself and be able to answer questions from his curious peers and the occasional "A$$hat" who needs to be put straight.

My 2 cents worth.

SB,

I have gotten my children Sportkilts and feel that they are a good deal for the money. Another option is USA kilts, Rocky and crew can make children's sizes and the PV is a great material option for active children. I am really impressed with the Mcleod one I bought my son.

Over at Stillwater has a new line of children's kilts and accessories that I haven't had a chance to try yet, but as my little insist on growing like weeds I'm sure I will be placing an order with Jerry before to much longer.

This is just me but I would definately go with a sgian don't for a child. A really fun option my son enjoys is a Pez dispenser. I filed and sanded the base so it wouldn't dig into his leg and it works fine. A Batman sgian dubh that holds candy, what could be better for a second grader?

Cheers

Jamie

Thanks Jamie!
The Sgian Replica website was cool, I wish I could find it now. It had great handles to "show" from hose yet the blade, if you call it that, is squared off and blunt.
