First day kilted at work in New Mexico.

Actually, I would normally wear/carry a blade of some sort (rule #9: always have a knife) - sometimes on my belt, more often in my pocket. And my co-workers expect it and look to me whenever something needs cutting or opening or whatever.

But - I think - in this instance, that maybe leaving the sgian dubh out of the picture, so to speak, is an excellent idea.

If knives are allowed at work, if you normally carry a knife, and if your co-workers expect it, then I would say you should definitely wear a sgian dubh. But only if it is sharp

Oh, it's sharp - very. On one forum post, someone said: "If it's not sharp, it's just a letter opener" or something similar. I almost cut myself when I read that because I was sharpening my letter opener at the time .

New Mexico is pretty much like Texas in this regard, folks might be suprised by the kilt, but most males over the age of 5 have a knife on them!

I think the only thing on your list I'd change would be the shoes, I feel like gillies are a little 'formal' for your office look.

I think gillies are too formal for the work place. Oh, that they were too formal for all other places!
