The Sgian Dubh is a Scottish tradition and is probably as well known, if not better, than the Claymore. The original Sgian Dubhs were frequently worn under the shirt close to the armpit, and were considered knives of last resort. A hidden reserve to be brought forth only when the swords and pikes had failed (later, guns took the place of pikes). Now it is traditional for the Sgian Dubh to be worn in the stocking of the highlander, and the knife is frequently called a ""stocking dirk"". The term ""Sgian Dubh"" itself actually means black handled knife. Our Sgian Dubh which weighs less than 2oz., has a black wooden handle that is carved on one side, smooth on the other. Embossed nickel silver fittings feature a thistle motif. Comes with sheath.
Overall-6 9/16 inches * Blade-3 inches long.
