Wearing a dirk casually
At 3:36 in this video you can see a dirk of some kind.
How common is it to wear one informally like this.
A few people have mentioned that I need one.

To clarify - If someone is wearing a British Commando Knife, A Fairbairn/Sikes, with their kilt, this is the proper forum section to post.
With that said, I know this young man. He is one of those "More Scottish than the Scots" who prides himself of his "Traditional" approach to kilt wearing. To him wearing a dirk with a kilt is required to keep the Tradition even though everything else about his outfit is casual and modern.
He is one of those who will wear a kilt, jacket, vest, hose, fly plaid all in the same Tartan and tell anyone who will listen how correct and traditional he is.
Do you really need a dirk? Well if you are a pipe major and it is part of your uniform - Or going to cut the haggis - Then maybe. Otherwise i can't think of a single reason to need a knife that large today.

Thank you Steve,I was also thinking the size of the dirk was ridiculously large just to be wearing around,that's one reason I was considering the British Commando,I think it might look smart and also be utilitarian. It might look completely crazy to kilt people though. I'm not certain how it would look myself ,but would definitely prefer it over the dirk.

Not sure why you would want too, other than in certain circumstances (outlined by Steve) no-one in Scotland does. I have an 18th century dirk I inherited, I've worn it once when doing a reenactment walk 40 years ago. It sits in pride of place on the dresser.

Nothing scares me more than someone in a position of power that starts using the "N Word" in a discussion that has as its desired end state the regulation of me, my possessions or my behavior. Yes, "Need" scares me more than any other word in the English language.

That won't be an issue Patrick, I have no interest in wearing a dirk, regardless of the circumstances. I was just trying to figure out how common it is, I still think the British Commando knife could look nice however.

Well, this afternoon I spoke to the minister and he would like swords with the Colour Guard. So an armed escort to the Colours he will get.
This will be held Sunday July 1st.
Aye Yours
