📜 The Story Behind the Sgian Dubh

The Gaelic term Sgian Dubh means Black Knife, thought to reference the dark color of early handles carved from black bog wood and blades that darkened with age. Another theory suggests it refers to its once-hidden nature — today worn openly atop the kilt hose to symbolize friendship and goodwill.

Important: The Sgian Dubh is a ceremonial and decorative piece, not a weapon.
