The Scottish Clan Crest Higher Quality Sgian Dubh, crafted by The Sgian Dubh Company in Scotland, stands as the pinnacle of excellence in its category. Each Sgian Dubh arrives in a distinguished blue presentation box, proudly bearing the mark "Made in Scotland."

This exquisite piece of Scottish tradition is available with your Clan crest in either lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver, ensuring a personalized touch for every wearer. The Sgian Dubh is meticulously crafted with a handle and sheath made of resin and plated metal fittings, embodying an antique charm reminiscent of genuine historical pieces. Despite its exceptional quality, it is offered at a considerably more accessible price point compared to antique counterparts, which can fetch over $1,000.

Measuring 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, this Sgian Dubh features a stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. The top is adorned with an imitation glass blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst glass stone, allowing for personalization according to preference.

The Clan crest, surrounded by a detailed belt and buckle design, is exquisitely handcrafted in high detail in sterling silver, with the Clan Crest itself measuring 11/16" (19.5 mm) in diameter. This intricate craftsmanship pays homage to ancient traditions where the chief of the Clan would present the crest to clansmen as a symbol of loyalty and affiliation.

Furthermore, the Sgian Dubh's name, Gaelic for "Black Knife," hints at its historical origins, with theories suggesting it either stemmed from the dark appearance of early handles carved from black bog wood or from its role as a discreet, easily concealed weapon, though it is essential to note that the Sgian Dubh should not be considered a weapon.

With over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest business, The Sgian Dubh Company continues to uphold its legacy by crafting Clan jewelry for new generations, ensuring that the traditions and heritage of Scottish clans endure for years to come.
