To customize your order, simply add your Clan name in the comments section when ordering. While this Sgian Dubh is a well-crafted and economical model with resin handle and sheath and plated fittings, a genuine antique Sgian Dubh with sterling silver fittings can sell for over $1,000.

The Origin of the Sgian Dubh:
The name "Sgian Dubh" (Gaelic for "Black Knife") is thought to reference the knife's dark appearance—early handles were often made from black bog wood, and the blade would darken with use. Another theory suggests it relates to the knife’s concealed nature, traditionally worn in the top of the stocking to signify that its wearer is among friends and has no ill intent. Note that the Sgian Dubh is a traditional accessory, not a weapon.

Our company has specialized in Scottish Clan crest jewelry for over forty years, now serving the children and grandchildren of our first customers.
