The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The term Sgian Dubh (Gaelic for Black Knife) is believed to come from:

• Its dark appearance, as early handles were carved from black bog wood and blades darkened with use.

• Its concealed nature, historically worn discreetly and later openly at the top of the stocking in Highland dress—symbolizing trust and friendship.

Note: The Sgian Dubh is a traditional accessory and not intended as a weapon.

A Symbol of Clan Loyalty & Highland Tradition

The Scottish Clan Crest Sgian Dubh is more than a ceremonial accessory—it’s a mark of heritage and friendship, worn with Highland attire at weddings, celebrations, and Scottish gatherings.
