Elegantly showcase your Scottish heritage with our exquisite Scottish Clan Crest Sgian Dubh.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this traditional Scottish black-handled knife is available mounted with your Clan crest in lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver.

Measuring 7-1/2” in length and 1-3/8” in width, this Sgian Dubh features a stainless steel blade and nickel silver-plated fittings. The top is adorned with an imitation topaz, sapphire blue, or emerald green synthetic stone for added sophistication.

The Clan crest is surrounded by a detailed belt and buckle design, featuring your clan motto in raised relief lettering. In ancient times, the Clan chief presented his crest to clansmen as a symbol of loyalty and affiliation. Each piece is exquisitely handcrafted with precision, with the Clan Crest measuring 11/16" (19.5mm) in diameter.

Please note that this item is made to order but typically requires only a few days. All Clans are available; simply add your Clan name in the comment area when ordering. While this Sgian Dubh is expertly crafted, it is an economy model with a resin handle and sheath, and plated fittings. Genuine old Sgian Dubhs with sterling silver fittings can fetch over $1,000.00.

The name "Sgian Dubh" (Gaelic for Black Knife) is thought to have originated from the knife's dark appearance, with early handles often carved from black bog wood and blades darkened through use and age. Another theory suggests that it derived from the dark or sinister nature of an easily concealed weapon. Traditionally, the Sgian Dubh is kept in open view in the top of the stocking while wearing Highland attire, symbolizing friendship and goodwill.

Our company has been in the Scottish Clan crest business for over forty years, now providing Clan jewelry for the descendants of our original customers. Wear your Clan crest with pride, honoring your heritage and lineage for generations to come.
