The Origin of the Sgian Dubh
The term "Sgian Dubh," which translates from Gaelic to "Black Knife," is likely derived from the knife's dark aesthetic, as early handles were crafted from black bog wood and blades would darken with time and use. An alternative interpretation points to the concealed nature of the weapon, traditionally worn in the stocking as a sign of friendship and good intentions. The Sgian Dubh is designed to serve as a symbol rather than a weapon.

For over 43 years, our company has been committed to providing high-quality Scottish Clan crest products, now creating Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our original customers.
