Historically, the handles were hand-carved from black bog wood, and blades would darken with use and age. Another theory suggests that the name stems from the concealed nature of the knife, leading to the tradition of wearing the Sgian Dubh visibly at the top of the stocking while donning Highland attire, signifying the wearer's friendship and absence of malicious intent.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s essential to note that the Sgian Dubh is not, has never been, and should not be perceived as a weapon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over forty years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company is proud to create Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our original customers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic Empire","offers":[{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Yellow Stone","offer_id":49371293679915,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Blue Stone","offer_id":49371293712683,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Green Stone","offer_id":49371293745451,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Yellow Stone","offer_id":49371293778219,"sku":null,"price":128.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Blue Stone","offer_id":49371293810987,"sku":null,"price":128.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Green Stone","offer_id":49371293843755,"sku":null,"price":128.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/6141\/3931\/files\/15_7e88c572-5363-48af-b7d9-084fc6e7de76.jpg?v=1755688960","url":"https:\/\/celticempire.com\/products\/inglis-clan-crest-sgian-dubh-scottish-knife","provider":"Celtic Empire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
