A Natural Progression of the Sgian Dubh to Computer Technology

A smallish knife is probably used more often as a general purpose tool than a defensive weapon.

I wear a Gerber multi-tool at work, but I think it is too heavy to ride in a sock. Besides, safety regulations don't allow me to wear a kilt at work.

Not exactly the same, Ron, but my MIL surprised me with a "Swissbit" this year for Chrismtas -- it's a combination USB drive and Victorinox Swiss Army Knife:

I like those supposed "Army" sgian dubhs that are found sometimes. I think Avance has one on it's website. They can have various crests on the handle and it also has various tools tucked inside on hinges like a Swiss Army knife.

All the vendors claim that it is modeled on ones used during th Crimean War but I haven't seen any actual historical proof of that. Could be marketing, could be history? Who knows. I don't care I still like them.

Here's a pic from one of Avance's eBay auctions:
