📜 The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The term Sgian Dubh (Gaelic for “Black Knife”) likely refers to its dark handle, historically carved from black bog wood. Over time, the blade would also darken with use. Traditionally, the Sgian Dubh is worn openly at the top of the stocking as part of Highland dress — a visible sign of friendship and peaceful intent.

It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh was never intended to be used as a weapon.
