THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The name Sgian Dubh, translating to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to originate from the knife's dark appearance. Early handles were often carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken with use over time. Another theory suggests that the name reflects the concealed nature of this weapon, leading to the tradition of displaying the Sgian Dubh on top of the stocking while in Highland dress, signifying friendship and good intentions.

It’s important to clarify that the Sgian Dubh is not, and should not be regarded as, a weapon!
