Are you complete without a Sgian Dubh?

[McMurdo]

I personally would not consider going formal without the sgian dubh, however I have done a casual look with and without depending on the situation.

I never wear one solely because police around here are notorious for harassing people, and I'm not willing to take the chance. I don't carry a sgian dubh, but I am licensed to carry my sgian taurus

Does the sqian taurus come with a thistle on the handle?

I have never completely bought into the idea that the Sgian dubh was a "weapon of last resort". From the very shape of it, it looks more like a utility knife one would carry for a variety of uses.

Also remember that until the industrial revolution, cutlery was very expensive, and when a guest arrived, it was usually expected that the guest would furnish his own.

I feel that at a formal occasion, it is necessary, just part of the "traditional" dress. At other times, as the occasion demands. Just wear it far enough down into the hose so it can't fall out!

Hmm....no, not currently, but my PT140 is all black!

I carry a sgian when going to a formal venue. I do not when I am dressed casually. I will carry a pocket knife in my sporran, or if I am hiking in the hills, a field knife which is more practical than a sgian.
