Galloway Family Clan Crest Sgian Dubh, Scottish Knife

Enhance your Scottish heritage with our elegant Sgian Dubh, a traditional Scottish knife featuring your Clan crest. Available with a handle in lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver, this distinctive piece is both functional and symbolic.

Measuring 7-1/2" long by 1-3/8" wide, the Sgian Dubh features a stainless steel blade and nickel silver-plated fittings. The top is adorned with an imitation stone, available in topaz, sapphire blue, or emerald green.

The Clan Crest is beautifully surrounded by a detailed belt and buckle design, with your Clan motto inscribed in raised relief lettering. Historically, Clan chiefs presented their crest to Clansmen as a mark of loyalty and Clan affiliation. Each Sgian Dubh is meticulously handcrafted, with the Clan Crest measuring 11/16" (19.5mm) in diameter.

Please note that each piece is made to order and typically ships within a few days. We offer this Sgian Dubh for all Clans, so simply provide your Clan name in the comment section when ordering. Although the handle and sheath are made from resin and the fittings are plated, this Sgian Dubh offers an economical option compared to genuine models, which can cost over $1,000.00.

The Origin of the "Sgian Dubh"

The name "Sgian Dubh" (Gaelic for "Black Knife") is thought to originate from the dark appearance of early knives, often made with black bog wood handles and darkened blades from use and age. Another theory suggests the name refers to the dark nature of a concealed weapon, which is why the Sgian Dubh is traditionally worn in the top of the stocking to show the wearer’s friendly intentions.

Please remember, the Sgian Dubh is not intended as a weapon but as a traditional accessory.

With over forty years in the Scottish Clan crest business, our company proudly creates Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our first customers.
