The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The name Sgian Dubh (“Black Knife” in Gaelic) is believed to stem from the knife’s dark appearance—often carved from black bog wood—or from its concealed nature. Traditionally worn at the top of the kilt hose, it signals friendship and trust.
(Note: The Sgian Dubh is a ceremonial accessory, not a weapon.)
