Not really, In the Uk there are very very few blades that are actually banned. We can pretty much carry any type of knife if there is a reason to do so. The reason for the sgian dubh is that it is part of the Scottish National dress.
The carrying of knives is an issue that has been hyped up by our media but the original laws (unchanged since 1988 in England and 1995 in Scotland) still stands.
To the OP... Wear your sgian dubh and dont worry about wearing it.
