I am currently working on a commissioned knife – a scottish-style sgian dubh, and I had wondered whether Scots had some kind of little holster-holder in the top of their socks, but apparently that problem is solved with a garter, i.e.: a “kluge”
This is really dumb [amazon] and I am suprised to learn that it may be considered “sexy” signalling among the troglodyte fringers:
If you combined that with a few of these: [amazon] to help keep it up, I think you could carry a .44 magnum in the sock, along with maybe 50 rounds.
