@willamartin looks like a little dagger! it intrigued me too, so i looked it up and found this information
. In traditional Scottish highland dress a knife called a sgian dubh, (prounounced skeen doo), is worn in a sock.Traditionally a sgian dubh would have been the everyday knife that was small enough to be carried in a pocket or sporran. It was used for all manner of things like cutting rope, food or material but it was also used for protection. The more ornate the handle indicated wealth. it used to be an easily hidden weapon, but now it is kept visible in the sock as a sign of trust.
@kali66 Oh, ok, a woman.
I flew from SIN to CHC and took a taxi to attend a vessel in Akaroa. Very nice landscape, and about the point which is most far away from my home.

Good description to Wilma
Christchurch on the southern island of NZ? I have been there maybe 7 years ago.
