THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The origins of the term "Sgian Dubh," which translates to Black Knife in Gaelic, are believed to be linked to the knife's dark appearance—early handles were often carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken with age and usage. Another theory suggests that its name stems from its nature as a concealed weapon, which is why it has become customary to wear the Sgian Dubh visibly at the top of the stocking while donning Highland attire, signifying friendship and good intentions.

The Sgian Dubh is not a weapon, nor should it ever be regarded as one!
