The Tradition and Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The term Sgian Dubh (Gaelic for “Black Knife”) is thought to originate from its dark appearance, as traditional handles were often made from black bog wood and blades would darken with age. Another theory is that the name reflects the knife’s concealed nature, which led to the Highland custom of wearing it openly in the stocking top—a gesture showing the wearer’s peaceful intent among friends.

While symbolic in Highland dress, the Sgian Dubh should never be regarded as a weapon.
