Sgian dubh knife

The sgian dubh is a small, hand-forged Scottish knife with a decorated wooden handle. This traditional Scottish knife, also called a half-dagger, is worn on the right half so that only the top of the handle is visible. It was originally intended for ceremonial purposes.

The sgian dubh has been part of the basic equipment of all Highland Scots since the 18th century. The name comes from Gaelic and means black. It is unclear whether this refers only to the colour of the handle, which was actually predominantly black or dark brown, or whether it is hidden or derived from a broader meaning.
