A Sgian Dubh, pronounced as “skee-an-doo” is a decorative knife typically worn as part of the Highland dress, tucked into the top of the kilt hose. Historically it originated as a personal defence knife but by the 18th century it became part of the formal attire, often designed with decorative handles. Today, it is a ceremonial item, symbolising Scottish heritage and often worn during formal occasions.

The Bog Oak Arisaig Sgian Dubh is a timeless piece of Scottish craftmanship that blends history, elegance and tradition. Handcrafted from ancient bog oak, this Sgian Dubh carries with it the rich story of wood preserved for thousands of years in the peat bogs of Scotland, giving it a unique, deep ebony finish reflecting the rugged beauty of the Scottish highlands.

It’s accompanying leather Celtic sheath features intricate Celtic knotwork, adding a touch of mystery while also providing secure and durable storage for the blade.

Whether for a special occasion or a collectors item, this Sgian Dubh is a symbol of Scotland’s rich heritage and a piece of history in your hand.
