This stunning Sgian Dubh, a traditional Scottish knife with a black handle, can be customized with your Clan crest in either lead-free pewter or fine sterling silver. We offer all Clans, ensuring that you can find the perfect representation of your heritage. As part of our premium range, this sgian dubh features a meticulously crafted handle and sheath made from resin, complemented by plated metal fittings.

Measuring 7 1/2” (190 mm) in length and 1 3/8” (35 mm) in width, this new Sgian Dubh boasts a durable stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. The top is adorned with a choice of imitation glass stones, available in blue sapphire, emerald green, or purple amethyst. Please specify your preferred color when placing your order.

The Clan crest is beautifully framed by a detailed belt and buckle design, featuring your clan motto inscribed in raised relief lettering. Each piece is skillfully handcrafted in sterling silver, with the Clan Crest measuring 11/16" (19.5 mm) in diameter. Historically, the chief of the Clan would present this crest to his clansmen as a badge of loyalty and Clan affiliation.

Kindly note that this item is made to order, requiring a few days for creation. All Clans are represented, ensuring a personalized touch for every customer.

THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to reflect the knife's dark appearance, as early handles were often carved from black bog wood, and the blade would darken with use and age. An alternate theory suggests that the name stems from the knife's concealed nature, leading to the tradition of wearing the Sgian Dubh visibly atop the stocking in Highland dress, signifying that the wearer is among friends and bears no ill intent. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be perceived as, a weapon.

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