Having just returned from the Missouri Tartan Day festivities, I have a question about a dirk. I have seen dirks on many a man at these events. I have seen many a man without them. Is it appropriate today to wear a dirk on your belt? My sgian dubh is always in my sock but I have two dirks that I display with our tents period weapons (we give a lecture and demonstration of the historical weapons of the time).

So do I dirk or not? I don't want to look like a person who just slaps something on their belt and look like a novice.

Thanks.
