Origin of the “Sgian Dubh”

The name Sgian Dubh translates to “Black Knife” in Gaelic. Its name may come from the dark color of the handle (historically carved from black bog wood) or from its concealed nature.

Traditionally worn visibly at the top of the stocking, the Sgian Dubh symbolizes trust and friendship, indicating the wearer harbors no ill intent.
