Historical Context:

The name "Sgian Dubh" means "Black Knife" in Gaelic. Its history is thought to arise from the dark color of early handles, often fashioned from black bog wood, or its function as a concealed weapon. Traditionally, the Sgian Dubh is worn at the top of the stocking, indicating that the wearer is among friends and poses no threat. It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh serves as a ceremonial piece rather than a weapon.
