While our Sgian Dubh is crafted with precision and care, it is designed as an economy model, featuring a resin handle and sheath with plated fittings.

The name Sgian Dubh, Gaelic for Black Knife, is steeped in history and tradition. Its origins are believed to stem from the knife's dark appearance, with handles often hand-carved from black bog wood. Another theory suggests it relates to the dark or concealed nature of the knife as a traditional Highland accessory, meant to be openly displayed in the stocking to signify peaceful intent amongst friends.

With over four decades of experience in the Scottish Clan crest business, we take pride in continuing the tradition by crafting Clan jewelry for generations to come.
