THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates from Gaelic to "Black Knife," has ancient roots, likely stemming from the knife's dark aesthetic—early versions often featured handles carved from black bog wood, while the blades would darken over time with use. Another theory suggests that its name derives from its association with being a concealed weapon, which is why it is traditionally worn in plain sight atop the stocking when donning Highland attire, signifying that the wearer is among friends and bears no harmful intent. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be regarded as, a weapon.

Our company has been a trusted name in Scottish Clan crest craftsmanship for over 43 years, creating cherished Clan jewellery for the children and grandchildren of our very first customers.
