Again. Maybe best not to get started down this path -- it IS a very emotional issue for me. 
Don't want to drag you down the path here but I'm guessing no sgians dubh at the Tokyo Highland Games?

Not at all. As long as we stay away from topics involving the RIGHT to have a pocket knife...
Anyway, I just went through my 2008 and 2009 Tokyo Highland Games photos, and you're right -- I didn't see ANY sgians in any of the photos. There may have been some, but the safe money is on not having one.
