Anyway - I have a pressing question which I hope you can answer....
    Is it permissable to wear the skean dhu (and presumably on this website I don't have to tell you what that is?) with the kilt in New York State and Ontario? We are visiting in two weeks and hubby is wearing his kilt to a family gathering (private) but also may want to wear it in Canada when out and about (ON only)
    Hope you can help with this
    Lang may yer lum reek!

    According to the link here, you are ok in New York state, but NYC may be a problem, because it is illegal to carry a knife exposed in the city.

    From the document, it appears that NYC is okay if the blade length is under 4 inches.
