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 !

Very happy with the item and the service. I purchased this to wear at my daughters wedding and even though I live in Australia and ordered it at short notice, they did everything they could to make sure it got here on time. I am eternally grateful, thank you.

4 stars for service, but 3 stars for the product. The pewter Iona Galley on this sgian dubh is quite nice, but I'm disappointed with the quality of the rest of the product. That said, I love everything else I've purchased from this shop. The shop owners offered a full refund (including return shipping) when they discovered I was less than satisfied with the sgian dubh.
