Don't feel compelled to carry a sgian dubh in the first place. Most only serve the purpose of decoration. Unless yours is a functional, well-made blade they tend to be more aggravation than they're worth, particularly for daywear.
Given that, I think that the knife shown looks like an interestingly carved mass-produced boot knife, but not like a sgian dubh. Sgian don't.
I have a mass-produced, yet nice, sgian dubh I'd be willing to donate to your cause. If you're interested, PM.

The woodburning really set it off, looks great. I would check local laws before wearing it since it is what is refered to as a stiletto and is prohibited even in gun toting Texas

A word of warning - those brass fitted "Pakistan" knives tend to be heavy as heck. I think after a day of wearing you'll be compelled to go to a lighter sgian.
