Sgian Dubhs, what is appropriate?

Actually, there sort of is such a thing. See this thread:

I have one in a clan crest. It has several advantages in some urban areas in that legally it's classed as a multi-tool instead of a knife.

I wish it had a high carbon blade, as I've found it difficult to achieve a good edge yet (but it is coming along). The etching is very nice. I carry it for all modes of dress because it has a corkscrew and I feel naked if I don't have a corkscrew as one never knows when a nice claret will need opening. ;)

I have a black handled and silver mounted sgian that I use almost all of the time, kilted or not. I have however recently picked up a little patch knife pieced together by a Native American reenactor that was demonstrating how many tribes would recycle broken items. It was made of a cut down straight razor and an antler point from a white-tail. It has been seeing some use with my daywear allowing me to save some wear on my silver mounted one. I honestly don't think that a black handled sgian looks too out of place with day wear, but the ones intended for daywear tend to standout a bit with dressier attire. This is all my opinion though.
