I have one actual true-to-form sgian that I use very heavily. It has a nice ebony handle carved with a somewhat Norse looking crosshatch design on the handle. The blade is sturdy carbon steel and takes and holds a good edge. It has nickel silver mounts on the sheath and handle. This particular knife works for most dressier day wear and evening wear occasions, and often slips it's way into my casual attire. When I'm actually caring about coordinating my knife, I use a cut-down straight razor fixed to an antler point from a white tail. I got it from a Native American who makes things like that to demonstrate how many tribesmen would repurpose broken items. The spine of the blade is a bit thick, but there's no denying the edge it takes. In both cases, they are custom pieces and that is usually your best bet for "that perfect knife". The money is worth it in the end.
Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!
