⚒ Crafted for Affordability
While antique Sgian Dubhs with solid silver fittings can cost over $1,000, this model offers a more accessible alternative, with a resin handle and sheath paired with plated fittings — all while retaining elegant craftsmanship and authentic styling.

🏴 The Origin of the Sgian Dubh
Meaning “Black Knife” in Gaelic, the Sgian Dubh’s name is thought to come from its dark handle, often carved from black bog wood, and the natural darkening of the blade with age. Another theory links the name to its original role as a concealed knife, later worn openly in the stocking as a sign of friendship and trust — never as a weapon.
