This beautiful Sgian Dubh or traditional Scottish black handled knife is mounted with a superb high quality sterling silver Rampant Lion on the handle, the proud historical symbol of Scotland.

This brand new economy Sgian Dubh is 7-1/2” long by 1-3/8” wide with a stainless steel blade and nickel silver plated fittings. The top has an imitation colored stone in your choice of yellow, blue or green.

The Rampant lion is beautifully cast and finished in solid sterling silver.

The origin of 'Sgian Dubh'

The distant origins of the name Sgian Dubh (Gaelic for Black Knife) are thought to have emerged from this knife's dark appearance - the early handles were often made from dark bog wood and the blade would become dark through use and age.
A second theory is that it originated from the dark or sinister nature of an easily concealed weapon - which is why it has become traditional to keep the Sgian Dubh in open view in the top of the stocking whilst wearing Highland attire, usually the Kilt, to show that its wearer is amongst friends and has no ill intent.
The Sgian Dubh was not, is not and should not be considered a weapon !
