    When I drive the car, the Sgian Dubh generally gets in the way of the shifter. That is on this side of the pond. It has not been a problem in the U.K. I either move it to the inside of the leg, or remove it and place it in a door pocket. I did leave it inside the leg once on alighting from the car. Itcame to my attention when I snagged it on the hose of my left leg.

    Sounds like bunk to me. However, when I was diving, I would wear my knife on the inside of my leg to keep it from hanging up on the kelp. Oh, wait,...worn inside the leg is a challenge. That explains why the seals in Monterey Bay were always harassing me,...and here I was thinking they wanted the fish I had speared.
