Sgian Dubh knife with Damascus steel blade and leather sheath
Sgian Dubh is a small hand-forged Scottish knife with a decorated ebony handle. This traditional Scottish knife, also called a "stocking dagger", is carried in the lower right so that only the upper part of the handle is visible. Originally it was used for ceremonial purposes. The Sgian Dubh has been a staple of every Highland Scots since the 18th century. The name comes from Gaelic and means "black". It is unclear whether this refers only to the color of the hilt, which was in fact mainly black, or whether it derives from the broader meaning "hidden" or "concealed".
The blade is made of 512 layer Damascus steel.
