Sgian Dubhs

Sgian Dubh is Gaelic for ‘black knife’. where "black" may refer to the usual colour of the handle of the knife. It is also suggested that "black" means secret, or hidden as its origins may have evolved from the sgian achlais, a dagger that could be concealed under the armpit. Used by the Scots of the 17th and 18th centuries, this knife was slightly larger than the average modern sgian dubh and was carried in the upper sleeve or lining of the body of the jacket.
