Socks and a sgian Dubh.

**Mindrop** · 21st October 10, 09:35 PM

Actually, I have e-mailed campus police and they follow texas laws. 5 1/2 inches. Thankfully, the handle sticks out, clasifying it as not concealed. But yeah. Thanks. I am very careful.

My knife finally came in handy today. A girl asked for a pencil sharpener before the test becasue we use scantrons and need pencils. No one had one. I offered to use my knife and it worked great. Her pencils were in no condition to be used for a test, that was for sure. One Kid (Who is an idiot period, and who also thinks my "dress" looks gay.) asked if it was a weapon. I replied no, technically it is not. He never said anything else. I was useing it properly. Had a dozen people who could testify what I was doing.

Yep. Thats my little bunny trail.That is basically all a sgian Dubh would be used for for me. Plus, many people have to remember, this is in a good part of Texas where knives are common. I am not in teh country, but Knives are knives. Cops are lax here about them. I need to stop now and go to bed.

Sorry typo 5.5" is the legal limit. Good idea to contact the campus PD, may avoid a few headaches that way. The manner in which you wear or use the knife will determine how much attention you may recieve from LE. I am familiar with TX LE so I know there are a few out there that consider it as a concealed weapon and have convictions and judges to back them up. All depends on what the actor was doing at the time they drew attention to themselves. Some were drunk, some got in fights and would have been a simple plea except they had a weapon on them. Of course I always tend to be cautious.

Hmmmmmm.

25$ ain't bad for that little toadsticker, even if it is made in China as I suspect. Considering it's going to be used for "pocketknife stuff"...opening the mail, cutting food, paring fingernails, whittling wood for one reason or another, prying things, and generally being abused, 25$ is a deal and who cares how well it keeps an edge...if it goes out, resharpen, it was only 25 bucks.

I'm not sure where it's manufactured, but the blade is A8 Japanese steel, and holds a VERY sharp edge quite well.

I've never met a Cold Steel blade that I wouldn't carry.

Do not have a utilikilt, but my Flamingo and Camo Sportkilts look just fine with kilt hose, and a sgian. I also always carry a knife wear legally allowed to. Might also carry my folder when kilted, but it depends on the pocket situation that day.

I don't know that we disagree all that much, really. What looks off about wearing hose with a UK is the cut of the UK- the low waist and below the knee cut are what seem unconducive to kilt hose wearing, to my eye. If someone wears a contempokilt that stops at or above the knee, and has at least a little rise, to me it looks fine.

Same here. They're wonderful.

No, I do not like it when my Utilikilt gets below mid knee. Becuase of that space, the hoses looks good.

I guess we don't disagree at all.

Did you then use the pencil to write down your phone number fore her because she was blown away at how manly you are?
