THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"
The term "Sgian Dubh," which translates from Gaelic to "Black Knife," is believed to have originated from the knife's dark appearance. Historically, handles were carved from black bog wood, and the blades darkened with age and use. Another theory suggests that the name reflects the weapon's easily concealed nature, which is why it is traditionally worn in the stocking, displayed openly to signify friendship and goodwill. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh is not intended to be viewed as a weapon.
