    If it’s just for function and you’re not worried about whether the knife is worn traditionally, I would recommend just sticking a folding knife in your sporran or pocket (if wearing a utkilt). Or have a fixed blade on a belt or in a backpack.

    Whether kilted or not, in the woods I generally carry a daypack or smaller pack with a water bladder. Depending on the environs and other clothing options I would carry the knife in the pack or under arm holster carry (if wearing a jacket) to keep from worrying the 'normal' folk or if I am out n' about somewhere that I am more likely to run into similar minded folks I would belt carry, either dangler or ranger style, or on my pack strap. I would personally rather carry the right knife(or knives) for the right job. Having said that, if wearing a trad kilt I would personally always carry a non-sgian out of sight unless I were truly in the backcountry, then i would wear it under arm holster

    I daresay you will have more options in your carry style if you are wearing a utility style rather than 'traditional' kilt without offending the traditionalists. Heck, you have already offended some by wearing a utility 'kilt' so what you do aside from that is just more of the same.

    There was a listing on the e -bay of a sporran that had a small crossdraw knife integrated into the flap but I am unable to locate the picture. It may have even made an appearance here as well.

    I found these online but again, not really a fan of that option as I don't think it would ride well, poking up etc. Also doesn't look like the knife you want for skinning etc.
