SCOTTISH CLAN CREST HIGHER QUALITY SGIAN DUBH

This exquisite Sgian Dubh is crafted by The Sgian Dubh Company in Scotland, representing the pinnacle of quality in the market today. Each piece is elegantly presented in a premium blue box, proudly labeled as "Made in Scotland."

This stunning Sgian Dubh, a traditional Scottish knife with a black handle, can be customized with your Clan crest in either lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver. We cater to all Clans, offering this high-end Sgian Dubh in a beautiful blue presentation box. It features a meticulously designed handle and sheath made from resin, complemented by plated metal fittings. In contrast, a genuine antique Sgian Dubh with sterling silver fittings can cost over $1,000, but we provide these at a more accessible price—please inquire for details.

Measuring 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, this new Sgian Dubh boasts a stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. Choose from options for the top stone: an imitation glass blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst to match your personal style when placing your order.

The Clan crest is beautifully encircled by an intricate belt and buckle design, showcasing your clan motto in raised relief lettering. Each piece is exquisitely 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 their loyalty and Clan affiliation.

Kindly note that this item is made to order, requiring a few days for creation. We proudly offer designs for every Clan.

THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The name Sgian Dubh, which translates to Black Knife in Gaelic, is believed to have originated from the knife's dark appearance—early handles were often intricately carved from black bog wood, while the blades darkened with use and age. Another theory suggests that the name comes from the concealed nature of the weapon, which is why it is customary to wear the Sgian Dubh visibly atop the stocking when donning Highland attire, signaling that the wearer is among friends and poses no threat. It is essential to understand that the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be regarded as, a weapon!

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