SCOTTISH CLAN CREST HIGHER QUALITY SGIAN DUBH

This exquisite Sgian Dubh, crafted by The Sgian Dubh Company in Scotland, stands as the pinnacle of quality in the market today. Each piece is elegantly presented in a luxurious blue box, proudly showcasing its "Made in Scotland" label.

This stunning Sgian Dubh, a traditional Scottish knife with a distinctive black handle, features your Clan crest beautifully mounted in lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver. All Clans are represented. This premium Sgian Dubh is meticulously constructed with a durable resin handle and sheath, complemented by plated metal fittings. While authentic antique Sgian Dubhs with sterling silver fittings can exceed $1,000, we offer this high-quality alternative at a more accessible price—please inquire for details.

This brand-new Sgian Dubh measures 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, equipped with a stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. The top is adorned with a choice of imitation glass stones in blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst. You can select your preferred color when placing your order.

The Clan crest is elegantly encircled by a detailed belt and buckle motif, featuring your clan motto inscribed in raised relief lettering. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with high attention to detail in sterling silver. The Clan Crest diameter is 11/16" (19.5 mm). Historically, the clan chief would present his crest to the clansmen as a symbol of loyalty and clan affiliation.

Please be aware that this item is made to order and requires a few days to complete. Every Clan is available for customization.

THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The origins of the term Sgian Dubh, which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, are believed to derive from the knife's dark aesthetic—early handles were often handcrafted from black bog wood, and the blades would darken with age and use. Another theory suggests that the name reflects the concealed nature of this weapon, which is why it is traditionally worn visibly atop the stocking in Highland dress, signifying friendship and goodwill.

It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh is not, nor should it be regarded as, a weapon!
