Like how you rotated your makers mark for those two...looks better on them.

What is a sgian dubh? Looks almost like a small lion knife...but then you'd have only tackle small lions...lol!

The sgian dubh is the Scotish sock knife when wearing the Kilt. It was traditional to disarm when in anothers home but being a bit cautious it also became traditional to have a small knife in their sock "just in case" .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgian-dubh
 
"Originally used for eating and preparing fruit, meat, and cutting bread and cheese, as well as serving for other more general day-to-day uses such as cutting material and protection, it is now worn as part of traditional Scottish dress tucked into the top of the kilt hose with only the upper portion of the hilt visible. The sgian-dubh is normally worn on the same side as the dominant hand. "

Sgian-dubh must be Scottish for EDC...!
