This popular design is a familiar one from the "Book of Kells". Three running hounds interwoven in a Celtic "zoomorphic" pattern. Hounds were highly regarded by the Celtic peoples. In Celtic myth tales, hounds are emblematic of courage, extreme loyalty, and honor and were closely associated with healing. This Celtic interlace design is available in your choice of high quality lead free pewter or 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 !
