Probably not a problem in Scotland but if your drunk and waving it about then I’d expect some how do the scots put it “Severe Malky” I think 😆 But it is a concealed weapon and if your in the rest of the country some bored copper spots you then maybe ? be a bit petty though.
When my brother in law married me sister him being a squaddie they had swords and stuff at the church and the lads didn’t get nicked for wearing ruddy great 3 ft swords. 😆 -
So would what’s under the kilt be classed as a concealed weapon or a blunt instrument? 😉

Unfortunately it is illegal to have a knife concealed, even if it is part of a ceremonial dress etc.
It is commonplace now to have a plastic replica Skean Dhu inside the sock.
Sign of the times i`m affraid

But if it is sticking out of your sock could it be construed as “concealed”?
Ain’t the law fun?

You must have an honest face to get away with wearing a knife openly in public Gray. Only a couple of years ago my (then) 8 year old son was reduced to tears when vigilant airport staff confiscated a plastic pair of scissors he had in his hand luggage. I don’t think it was the loss of the “toy” that upset him so much as the feeling that he had done wrong in some way. It was just after 9/11 and security was very heightened, so we didn’t make a fuss, but my sons feeling were badly hurt at the time.

Gray: You must be at a loss without your nail file 😆
I wondered what to do with those toe nail clippings
After all it is a bit of you isn’t it
Why bin it?
I can see the sense of having a nail ‘file’.
