Protecting Kilt Hose from Sgian Dubh Damage.

[Braw Cathairneach]

My kilt hose was damaged by my sgian dubh sheath tip. A proper metal chape might help, but I found it more expedient to hand sew a stiff Velcro patch to the lower end of the leather sheath. The yet unproven theory is that the stiff Velcro patch will not penetrate kilt hose as would a narrow sheath tip. The hook side is intended to help keep the sgian dubh from sliding down into the kilt hose. The concept needs yet to be tested at a kilted event.
