THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The Sgian Dubh, meaning "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to have gained its name from its dark appearance. Traditionally, handles were carved from black bog wood, and over time, blades would darken from use and age. Another theory suggests that the name reflects the concealed nature of the weapon, which is why it is customarily worn visibly in the top of the stocking as a sign of friendship and goodwill while in Highland attire. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh is not intended to be viewed as a weapon.

With over 43 years in the Scottish Clan crest industry, our company takes pride in creating Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our first customers, continuing the legacy of Clan pride and heritage.
