Glen Interlace Family Clan Crest Sgian Dubh, Scottish Knife

Experience the pinnacle of craftsmanship with this premium Sgian Dubh, made by The Sgian Dubh Company in Scotland. Known for its exceptional quality, each Sgian Dubh comes in a high-quality blue presentation box, clearly marked "Made in Scotland."

This distinguished Sgian Dubh features a traditional black handle and is available with your Clan crest in lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver. It is our high-end model, designed with a resin handle and sheath and plated metal fittings. For comparison, an antique genuine Sgian Dubh with sterling silver fittings can cost over $1,000.00; please inquire if you’re interested in those options.

The Sgian Dubh measures 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, featuring a stainless steel blade and nickel silver-plated fittings. The top is adorned with a choice of imitation glass stones: blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst. Please select your preferred color when ordering.

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

Please note that this item is made to order and typically takes a few days to complete. We offer Sgian Dubhs for all Clans.

The Origin of the Sgian Dubh
The name "Sgian Dubh" (Gaelic for "Black Knife") likely stems from the knife's dark appearance, with early handles carved from black bog wood and blades darkening with age and use. Another theory suggests it refers to the concealed nature of the weapon, which is why it is traditionally worn in the stocking to signal friendship and a lack of ill intent. The Sgian Dubh should always be seen as a symbol, not a weapon.

Our company has been dedicated to Scottish Clan crest products for over 43 years, now crafting Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our first customers.
