How often do you wear a kilt pin?

I always wear one...with one exception; I do not wear one on my SportKilts when I'm competing in highland games. Instead, I have sewn (or glued) a patch in the corner of the apron. This is simply because I don't want anything to get in the way of the weights or movements during the activities.

The only time I would not wear a kilt pin would be when I was wearing a kilt for something athletic, and that would be rare. Last night I attended a special ceremony at the Alamo in San Antonio honoring the Scots who died there. For a bit of variety, I replaced my usual kilt pin with a Texas themed pin.

Always.

I have always worn a kilt pin, and frankly, have never thought not to. Maybe I am lucky, or maybe I am careful, but I have never torn a kilt because of the pin. I have snagged them on other things, but never with the pin.

Every time

I never wear a kilt pin. I was told by my father when I was a wee boy that it was superfluous and never really bothered. I have my maternal grandfather's claw pin but it stays in a drawer.

Virtually every time I wear a kilt, all traditional tartan wool.

Initially, I didn't wear one often, as all I had were large, hefty bag pins that might be used for securing a small dog outside during a wind storm or some of my military rank pins (Navy CPO Anchor). However, when we were in the process of moving my mother into assisted living, I found an old kilt pin in a collection of jewelry that she had. It is a silver sword that was made by the shop of Robert Allison, with town marks of Edinburgh. Unfortunately, there is no year mark that I can discern.
