Sgian Dubhs

Our Sgian Dubhs are handcrafted in Scotland or UK. Our Sgian Dubhs offer a great range of choices from the top quality sterling silver range, to a great value sgian dubh with silver-electroplated fittings or made with resin and leather. They are stunning Highland Dress accessories, essential as the finishing details to the highland dress outfit.

The origins of the word 'Sgian Dubh' comes from the Gaelic meaning "black knife", where "black"  refers to the usual colour of the handle of the knife. The sgian dubh also resembles the small skinning knife that is part of the typical set of hunting knives. These knives usually had antler handles.  The "spear-point" tip has now become universal & scalloped filework on the back of the blade is common on all Scottish knives. Since the modern wearer of the sgian dubh does not intend the blade for cutting food or self-defense, blades are now of a simple (but not unglamorous) construction.

The Sgian Dhu is a traditional part of Highland dress, worn in the sock, with the scabbard hidden and the handle visble. We offer a  selection of highland dress accessory Sgian Dhus to match our kilt belts, kilt buckles, kilt pins and leather sporrans.
