📜 The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The Gaelic name Sgian Dubh means “Black Knife,” possibly referencing:

1. Dark materials — early versions had black bog wood handles and blades that darkened with age

2. Concealed carry — traditionally worn visibly in the stocking top as a gesture of friendship, signaling no hostile intent

It is important to note that the Sgian Dubh is not a weapon, but a ceremonial accessory in Highland dress.
