THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, translating to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, likely derives from the knife's dark appearance—early handles were often hand-carved from black bog wood, and blades would darken with use and age. Another theory suggests it reflects the concealed nature of this weapon, leading to the tradition of wearing the Sgian Dubh visibly atop the stocking while donning Highland attire, signaling friendship and good intent.

It's important to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh is not, and should never be considered, a weapon!

With over 43 years in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company now proudly creates Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our initial customers.
