📜 The Origin of the “Sgian Dubh”

The Gaelic name Sgian Dubh means "Black Knife", possibly referring to:

  • The dark bog wood traditionally used for handles

  • The way blades darkened naturally over years of use
    Another theory links the name to its once-concealed nature. Today, the Sgian Dubh is worn visibly at the top of the stocking as a gesture of goodwill, symbolizing that the wearer is among friends.
    Note: The Sgian Dubh is not a weapon — it is a ceremonial accessory.
