📜 The Story of the Sgian Dubh

The name Sgian Dubh translates from Gaelic as “Black Knife”, referring either to:

1. Its historically dark handle, carved from black bog wood and a blade that darkened with use, or

2. Its original concealed nature, later worn openly atop the stocking to signify friendship and goodwill.

⚠ Please note: The Sgian Dubh is not and should never be regarded as a weapon.
