Another theory suggests that it reflects the dark nature of a weapon that can be easily concealed. Traditionally, the Sgian Dubh is worn visibly at the top of the stocking while donning Highland attire, signaling the wearer’s friendly intentions and absence of malice.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s important to emphasize that the Sgian Dubh is not intended, nor should it be regarded, as a weapon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over forty years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest business, our company proudly crafts Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our first customers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic Empire","offers":[{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Yellow Stone","offer_id":49809947787563,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Blue Stone","offer_id":49809947820331,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pewter Crest \/ Green Stone","offer_id":49809947853099,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Yellow Stone","offer_id":49809947885867,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Blue Stone","offer_id":49809947918635,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver Crest \/ Green Stone","offer_id":49809947951403,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/6141\/3931\/files\/33_69a30dd1-9a58-4950-ad14-742c2735e9fe.jpg?v=1756096856","url":"https:\/\/celticempire.com\/products\/wemyss-clan-crest-sgian-dubh-scottish-knife","provider":"Celtic Empire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
