📜 The Origin of the "Sgian Dubh"
The name means "Black Knife" in Gaelic and is thought to derive from the dark handles traditionally carved from bog wood and blades that darkened with use. Another belief is that the name refers to its concealed nature — it is worn visibly atop the stocking during Highland dress as a symbol of friendship and peace. Important to note, the Sgian Dubh was never intended to be a weapon.
For over 40 years, our company has proudly specialized in crafting Scottish Clan crests, now creating treasured jewelry for the descendants of our original customers.
