THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates to Black Knife in Gaelic, is believed to stem from the dark appearance of the knife. Historically, the handles were often hand-carved from black bog wood, and the blades darkened with use and age. Another theory suggests that the name refers to the concealed nature of the weapon, emphasizing the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh in the stocking while wearing Highland attire, symbolizing the wearer's friendship and peaceful intentions. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh has never been intended as a weapon.
