The sgian dubh is a ceremonial knife, sgian, worn as part of the modern Scottish Highland dress along with the kilt. It is worn tucked into the hose with only the pommel visible. The sgian dubh is normally worn on the right leg, but can also be worn on the left, depending on whether the wearer is right or left-handed. In the United Kingdom, it is legal under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (section 139)[4] and the Offensive Weapons Act 1996 (section 3 and 4) for someone wearing the national costume of Scotland to carry a Sgian Dubh
