THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, derived from Gaelic meaning "Black Knife," likely comes from the knife's dark appearance—early handles were often hand-carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken with use over time. Another theory suggests its name relates to the concealed nature of the weapon, which is why it is traditionally worn visibly at the top of the stocking in Highland attire, signaling that the wearer is among friends and means no harm. It is essential to remember that the Sgian Dubh is not, nor should it be regarded as a weapon!
