The sgian dubh (say it \"skee-an-doo\") is the small knife worn tucked into the top of your kilt hose, and it has been part of Highland dress for centuries. The name comes from Scottish Gaelic and is usually translated as \"black knife\" or \"hidden knife\". Small, yes. But it's the detail people notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Blade Like No Other\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur sgian dubh is hand-forged from high-carbon Damascus steel, and it's an absolute showstopper. The steel is folded again and again during forging, creating that beautiful, flowing bird's-eye pattern that ripples along the length of the blade. And here's the best bit: no two Damascus blades are ever alike. The pattern on yours will be completely its own, as individual as the person wearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Handle: Where It Gets Really Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the part we're proudest of. Every handle begins life as waste plastic, collected by our own team, from broken fish boxes to old plastic crates. We recover it, clean it, shred it and remould it into a tough, durable handle with a stunning marbled finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSo you're not just wearing a piece of tradition. You're wearing something that's had a second chance, and that's a story worth telling at any wedding, ceilidh or Burns Night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to Gift, Ready to Wear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach sgian dubh comes with a light tan leather sheath and arrives presented in a brown kraft gift box, making it a brilliant choice for groomsmen, graduations, birthdays or simply treating yourself. Because you deserve the finishing touch too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn line with UK law, all our sgian dubhs are supplied blunt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDamascus steel is high-carbon and may tarnish or rust over time due to atmospheric moisture.
