OK, thanks to all!
I thought it was BS, a lady found it in a whisky magazine article about a kiltmaker from cologne.
That is the one who takes 700 Euro for a kilt!
That is ca. 1000 $ !!

Well...I have little knowledge of sock knives or Highland dress...
But common sense tells me that wearing a knife somewhere hard-to-reach as an indication that one is ready to use it sounds like complete oop:

That was also my thought... Not to mention, and Mr Bill already has, that it can also be... rather uncomfortable.

I've worn a variety of different knives over the years. Usually, if there's one on my lower leg, it's on the inside!
The main reason for this is to keep it from snagging on or banging against things as I walk along. Accessibility isn't a problem: you just train your body to reach there. Bear in mind though, this is at the ankle, not in the top of a stocking...
Speaking for the purpose the sgian serves now though: it's a piece of masculine jewelry. So wearing it on the inside would seem to defeat the purpose (as it would be less visible).
And I'll admit that the sgian as weapon always seemed a bit odd for me: although it could easily be used as such, it doesn't seem well suited to such (given it's size). The concept of it being developed as a skinning knife makes MUCH more sense!
As for "wearing it on the inside means you're looking for a fight"? That's just absurd. Sounds like someone think folks in kilts wander around looking to duel ala Highlander!

A little bit off topic here. Once I put a butter knife in my hose rather by accident, and if anyone noticed, they didn't say anything.

Wearing the sgian inside the leg? never heard of it really... but if the blade itself is inside the leg, then the fight has already begun.

It was a dark and early morning, had them both side by side at the table, just grabbed the wrong one.
