Pocket Knife with Kilt

[Standard]

As for me, regardless of whether I'm wearing a sgain dubh in my hose I always have my Swiss Army knife in my sporran. My SAK rides in my pocket every day and I just don't feel dressed without it. For most things it's a better tool than the sgain dubh. My SD is a high quality one with brass bolsters, and a razor sharp edge since I don't believe in carrying a dull useless knife, and my jurisdiction has no restrictions on knives the size of normal SDs. Hope this helps.

A mattucashlass is a type of dagger worn concealed in the armpit and primarily used for close combat, part of traditional Scottish male Highland dress. It is also referred to as an armpit dagger or a sleeve dagger in English. In Scots, the alternative name skene-ochil or skene-occles can also be found.

I must for the sake of clarity, point out that the sgian achlais(and other versions of spelling) the armpit Scottish dagger or sleeve dagger is not part of traditional Scottish kilt attire of today.

It certainly has historical connections to it, but a knife worn under the arm pit or up the sleeve would, in normal circumstances, most certainly be illegal these days in the UK including Scotland and no doubt I imagine, in many other parts of the world too.

I rather thought that someone would come up with that!

Well, at least you now know that the sgian achlais is not part of todays Scottish traditional kilt attire. What you choose to do with that wee bit of information is entirely up to you.
