Early handles were often hand-carved from black bog wood, while the blades would darken over time due to usage and age. Another theory suggests that the name stems from the weapon's discreet nature, leading to the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh visibly atop the stocking when wearing Highland attire, signifying friendship and the absence of malicious intent. It is important to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be perceived as, a weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company is proud to serve the children and grandchildren of our original customers, continuing the legacy of Clan jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic Empire","offers":[{"title":"Pewter \/ Blue","offer_id":49371495858475,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter \/ Green","offer_id":49371495891243,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pewter \/ Amethyst","offer_id":49371495924011,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Blue","offer_id":49371495956779,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Green","offer_id":49371495989547,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ Amethyst","offer_id":49371496022315,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/6141\/3931\/files\/35_3aea965c-1734-499d-9ad5-3b96f609ea0d.jpg?v=1755688875","url":"https:\/\/celticempire.com\/products\/irvine-drum-interlace-clan-crest-sgian-dubh-scottish-knife","provider":"Celtic Empire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
