This exceptional Sgian Dubh is crafted by The Sgian Dubh Company in Scotland, representing the pinnacle of quality in sgian dubhs available on the market today. Each knife is elegantly presented in a premium blue gift box, proudly labeled as "Made in Scotland."

Featuring a stunning design, this traditional Scottish black-handled knife can be customized with your Clan crest, available in lead-free pewter or exquisite sterling silver. All Clans are represented. As our premier Sgian Dubh, it comes in a striking blue presentation box, showcasing its superior craftsmanship. The handle and sheath are made from durable resin, complemented by plated metal fittings. For reference, a genuine antique sgian dubh with sterling silver components can exceed $1,000.00, but we offer these remarkable pieces at a more accessible price—just inquire for details.

This brand new Sgian Dubh measures 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, featuring a stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. Choose from a selection of vibrant glass stones at the top, including imitation blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst, according to your preference when placing your order.

Each Clan crest is beautifully encircled by an intricate belt and buckle design, with your clan motto inscribed in raised relief lettering. These pieces are meticulously handcrafted in sterling silver, with the Clan Crest measuring 11/16" (19.5 mm) in diameter. Historically, the chief of the Clan would present this crest to his clansmen as a symbol of loyalty and Clan affiliation.

Please be aware that this item is made to order and may take a few days to produce. All Clans are available for customization.

THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The intriguing history of the Sgian Dubh, which translates from Gaelic to "Black Knife," is believed to stem from its dark aesthetics—early versions were often hand-carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken over time through use and age. Another theory suggests that the name derives from the concealed nature of this weapon, leading to the tradition of wearing the Sgian Dubh visibly atop the stocking while donning Highland attire, signaling to others that its bearer is among friends and harbors no malicious intent. It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh should not be regarded as a weapon.

With over 43 years in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company is proud to create Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our original customers.
