THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, meaning "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to have originated from the knife's dark aesthetic. Traditionally, handles were handcrafted from black bog wood, and blades would darken over time through use and wear. Another theory suggests that the name references its concealed nature—hence the custom of displaying the Sgian Dubh above the stocking while wearing Highland attire, signifying friendship and goodwill.

It is essential to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh should never be regarded as a weapon.
