🗡️ The Meaning of the Sgian Dubh

The name “Sgian Dubh” (Gaelic for Black Knife) is thought to originate from:

1. Its dark appearance — early versions had black bog wood handles and blades that darkened over time.

2. Its “hidden” nature — once a concealed weapon, it became traditional to wear it openly in the top of the kilt hose, symbolizing friendship and trust.

⚠️ The Sgian Dubh is not a weapon, but a ceremonial and decorative item, proudly worn with Highland attire.
