The Sgian Dubh is a small ornamental Knife traditionally worn in the top of the sock by a Highlander in Scotland. The flat edge is normally worn in the right sock by right-handed people. The name is Scots Gaelic – the word ‘sgian’ means knife or dagger and ‘dubh’ means black, referring to the colour of the handle which was originally made from black hardwood. Various spellings of the word are recorded in different books including skean, skian and skein. The word dubh can also be spelt dhu.
