🗡 The Story Behind the Sgian Dubh

The name “Sgian Dubh”, meaning “Black Knife” in Gaelic, has deep historical roots:

• Early versions featured black bog wood handles and darkened blades.

• Another theory suggests the name reflects its once concealed nature — a discreet personal knife.

Traditionally, it’s worn openly in the top of the kilt hose, symbolizing peace, friendship, and trust — never as a weapon, but as a mark of Highland hospitality and honor.
