THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"
The name Sgian Dubh, which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to have originated from the knife's dark aesthetics. Traditionally, handles were hand-carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken over time through use. Another theory suggests that the name is derived from the concealed nature of the weapon, leading to the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh prominently in the top of the stocking while wearing Highland attire, signifying that the wearer is among friends and harbors no ill intent.
It is essential to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be regarded as a weapon!
With over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest business, our company has proudly evolved to create Clan jewellery for the children and grandchildren of our first customers.
