📜 Origin of the “Sgian Dubh”
The Gaelic term means “Black Knife,” likely inspired by the traditional black bog wood handles and the darkening of the blade over time. Another theory attributes the name to the knife’s concealed nature, worn visibly at the stocking’s top during Highland dress to show peaceful intent among friends. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh was never intended as a weapon.
