Heritage & Symbolism

Historically, the Clan Chief would present the crest to loyal Clansmen as a symbol of loyalty and unity.

While this Sgian Dubh is beautifully crafted with high-quality plated fittings, it offers an affordable alternative to genuine antique models (which can exceed $1,000 with sterling silver fittings).

The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The name Sgian Dubh means “Black Knife” in Gaelic:

• Dark Appearance: Traditionally carved from black bog wood, with blades darkening over time.

• Visible Wearing: Often worn at the top of the stocking, visible to show friendship and goodwill.

Note: The Sgian Dubh is a ceremonial accessory, not a weapon.
