Wearing a dirk
Other than pipers, I don't see many kilties wearing the dirk. I purchased one some time back, the military style complete with knife and fork in the sheath. What I don't have is the piece for attaching it to my kilt belt. Anyone have links for purchasing this?
Also, does anyone among the rabble who wears the dirk use a frog for carrying it? If not, how do you negotiate sitting down while wearing it? Or do you have to take it off every time you sit? 
One last thought: I've always seen it worn on the right side, which would seem really awkward to draw for a right-handed individual. Was there a military regulation requiring the dirk be worn on the right?
