just thought I'd put in my 2cents worth in. Over here in australia we have very strict weapon laws. one of them is that you are not allowed to carry a blade longer than 2 inches (I think). However I have been told by the highland society that if you are in full highland attire it is perfectly legal to wear you skean
dhub (hope I spelt it right). Apparently that goes for any traditional dress, so if you are Turkish (for example ) you can wear the long sabre (i thin thats what it is). Congrats Blu. Cheers Andrew
