THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates to Black Knife in Gaelic, is believed to derive from the knife's dark aesthetic—early versions often featured handles carved from black bog wood, with blades that darkened over time due to usage. Another theory suggests the name reflects its nature as a concealed weapon; thus, it is customary to display the Sgian Dubh atop the stocking while dressed in Highland attire, signaling to others that the wearer is among friends and bears no ill intentions. It is essential to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh was never intended to be viewed as a weapon.

With over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company proudly continues the tradition, now creating Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our very first customers.
