    Evidently the wearer prefers a reverse-grip draw.

    I agree that the knife piercing the skin is pretty gross. The idea of getting a sgian tattoo is kind of cool though!

    Here are some other designs I found in Google Images:

    This one is mine. I frequently get asked at the Highland Games if I mind having a picture taken of it. A security guard at Glasgow-Prestwick Airport really liked it and expressed his appreciation. It has also brought lots of comments at other airports from fellow travelers. Besides looking good, I think, I got it so I could at least be symbolically armed when socially unacceptable to be armed.
