Product description
The sgian dubh is crafted from several layers of Damascus steel. The name sgian dubh means "black knife". This dagger was traditionally worn in the sleeve during the 17th and 18th centuries. An old custom dictated that a Highlander could not carry weapons inside when he entered a house. For self-defence he would often conceal a sgian dubh in his sock. Should a fight break out within the house, he could escape or defend himself with the dagger. Following Culloden, the soldiers of the Black Watch regiment always wore this dagger in their sock.
The dagger is of fine quality, with a length of 19.50 cm and a width of 10 cm. It is supplied complete with a scabbard.
