Another theory suggests that the name derives from the concealed nature of this weapon, leading to the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh atop the stocking when donning Highland attire, signaling that the wearer is among friends and bears no ill intentions. It is important to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh is not to be regarded as a weapon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company is proud to create Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our very first customers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic Empire","offers":[{"title":"Pewter \/ Blue","offer_id":49369966412075,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter \/ Green","offer_id":49369966444843,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter \/ Amethyst","offer_id":49369966477611,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Blue","offer_id":49369966510379,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Green","offer_id":49369966543147,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Amethyst","offer_id":49369966575915,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/6141\/3931\/files\/34_a9b57f48-8df4-4a27-8b7c-1b103dff10fb.jpg?v=1755689574","url":"https:\/\/celticempire.com\/products\/graham-menteith-interlace-clan-crest-sgian-dubh-scottish-knife","provider":"Celtic Empire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
