I choose to wear a blade. Not everyone does. I use it. Not everyone does. There's no law that says you have to tuck
anything in your hose, and you'll look fine without. As a kid, I learned the carpenter's trick of opening with a hammer, as
an adult, I've found my hand will work for most bottles. The back of a knife blade will do. A flat blade screwdriver will do.
My point? I grew up in a time and place where people fought for amusement and aggression was a cherished and well
honed hobby. I would never stick a "brew" in my hose and imply there might be a reason to up the level of aggression.
I often say here a sgian is not a weapon; it isn't. However, aggressive folk know that virtually any tool may, in a pinch,
become effective in a scrape, and assume the worst.
Edited to add in the USA, when in a kilt, it is generally legal to wear a sgian. I've had peace officers and security teams tell
me they would confiscate a "brew" as quickly as a bladed sgian, and for the same reason. Many to most probably wouldn't,
and I've had some say that knowing what it is they let it pass. But when in question I simply go with unloaded hose.
