THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term "Sgian Dubh," which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, likely originated from the knife's dark appearance. Early handles were often intricately carved from black bog wood, while the blades darkened with use and age. Another theory suggests that the name arises from the weapon's easily concealed nature, leading to the custom of displaying the Sgian Dubh atop the stocking while wearing Highland attire, signaling that the wearer is among friends and harbors no ill intentions. It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh was never intended to be regarded as a weapon.
