📜 The Origins of the Sgian Dubh

The Sgian Dubh’s name likely arose from its dark handle — traditionally carved from black bog wood — and the blade’s darkened tone from age and use.
Another theory ties its name to the “dark” or concealed nature of the weapon, which Highlanders would display openly in the stocking to signify honor and peace.
The Sgian Dubh is not a weapon, but rather a ceremonial accessory and symbol of trust in Scottish culture.
