Historical Context:
The term "Sgian Dubh" translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, likely derived from the dark nature of early handles made from black bog wood or its historical use as a concealed weapon. Traditionally, it is worn at the top of the stocking in Highland dress, symbolizing that the wearer is among friends and has no harmful intentions. It’s essential to understand that the Sgian Dubh serves as a ceremonial piece rather than a weapon.
