THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to have originated from the knife's dark appearance. Traditionally, the handles were hand-carved from black bog wood, and over time, the blade would adopt a dark hue through use and age. Another theory suggests that the name stems from the weapon's discreet nature, leading to the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh openly at the top of the stocking while donning Highland attire, indicating that the wearer is among friends and harbors no malicious intent. It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh is not considered a weapon.
