 Description:
The Stag Antler Sgian Dubh is a captivating blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and elegance, embodying centuries of Scottish heritage in a compact, single-edged knife. The name "Sgian Dubh" (pronounced ski-en doo) comes from the Gaelic term meaning "black knife," possibly referring to the dark handles traditionally used or its concealed nature as a hidden blade.
 
Historically, the Sgian Dubh emerged as part of Scottish Highland dress in the 17th or 18th century, worn tucked into the top of a kilted Scot’s sock, with only the handle visible. It originated as a practical tool and backup weapon, often surrendered at the entrance of a host’s home as a gesture of trust, reflecting the Highland custom of hospitality. Over time, it evolved into a ceremonial accessory, symbolizing honor and cultural pride, often adorned with intricate designs for formal occasions like weddings or clan gatherings.

This particular British-made Stag Antler Sgian Dubh is a stunning example of artisanal craftsmanship, forged in Sheffield, England, a city renowned for its cutlery heritage. Its 3.5-inch polished carbon steel blade is hand-forged to a razor-sharp edge, offering exceptional cutting performance for tasks ranging from utility to ceremonial use. The high-carbon steel requires occasional oiling to prevent rust but rewards with durability and ease of sharpening.

The handle, crafted from ethically sourced Scottish stag antler, is a standout feature, with each piece uniquely shaped by the natural contours of the antler, ensuring no two knives are identical. Complemented by a sleek stainless steel cap, the handle has a rough, natural finish, providing both comfort and a striking aesthetic.

Presented in a premium gift box with an ABS, this Sgian Dubh is not only a functional tool but also a collector’s piece, perfect as a meaningful gift or a proud addition to traditional Highland attire.
