Tradition & Etiquette 📜
Sgian Dubh (Gaelic for “black knife”) likely refers to its dark early materials—black bog-wood handles and blades that darkened with age. Another tradition links the name to its once-concealed nature, which is why it’s worn visibly at the top of the stocking with Highland attire—to signal friendship and good intent.
Important: The sgian dubh is a ceremonial accessory, not a weapon.
Care Tips 🧼
-
Wipe blade and fittings dry after wear
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged moisture
-
For sterling crests, use a soft silver-polishing cloth
