The Origin of the Sgian Dubh:
The term "Sgian Dubh" translates from Gaelic to "Black Knife," likely referencing the knife's dark aesthetics—early handles were commonly crafted from black bog wood, and the blade would darken with usage. Another interpretation points to its hidden nature, as it was traditionally concealed in the top of the stocking, indicating that the wearer was among friends and meant no harm. Remember, the Sgian Dubh is a traditional accessory, rather than a weapon.

Our company has been dedicated to crafting Scottish Clan crest jewelry for over four decades, proudly serving the children and grandchildren of our original customers.
