📜 The History of the Sgian Dubh

The name Sgian Dubh (pronounced skee-an doo) means “Black Knife” in Gaelic, thought to originate from:

1. Its dark appearance — early knives used black bog wood handles and blades that darkened with age.

2. Its concealed nature — historically carried discreetly but worn in plain sight atop the stocking during Highland dress to signify trust.

Today, it remains a ceremonial accessory, not a functional weapon.
