Thanks for all the kind words everyone.
The sweater was brought back from Scotland to me by my parents about 8 years ago, it's very comfortable, and 100% wool.
The Officer's Model Sgian Dubh is a nice tool to have along. After an initial breaki-in period of loosening things up it opens very smoothly, and is quite functional.
As for the exchange rate it did help me out, but not sure how the rate is Down-Under right now.
