MARTO SGIAN DUBH MT-400910
Step into the rich heritage of Scotland with the iconic Sgian Dubh—a small, elegantly crafted dagger that’s much more than just a blade. Rooted deeply in Scottish tradition, the Sgian Dubh is a symbol of pride, mystery, and skilled craftsmanship, designed to be both functional and strikingly beautiful. Historically, this hidden knife was discreetly worn tucked beneath the shirt close to the armpit, or cleverly concealed in shoes or socks—truly a dagger of stealth and sophistication.
The name “Sgian Dubh” comes from Scottish Gaelic, where “Dubh” means “black,” but also carries the intriguing implication of “hidden.” Aptly called the “hidden knife,” the Sgian Dubh was a trusted tool for protection and self-reliance, passed down through generations of skilled hands in the Scottish Highlands. Today, it stands as a timeless emblem of Scotland’s rich cultural identity—a perfect complement to traditional Highland dress and a striking collector’s piece.
This finely made Sgian Dubh boasts a blade forged from high-quality carbon steel, ensuring exceptional strength and sharpness that lasts. The elegant black wood handle features a unique design: one side smoothly polished for comfort and grip, the other intricately carved to capture the eye with its artistry. Nickel hardware accents complete the look with refined engravings, blending functionality with classic Scottish charm.
Included with your Sgian Dubh is a protective shell, perfect for safekeeping while honoring the traditional presentation of this historical blade. Compact and lightweight, the dagger measures 16 cm in total height with an 8 cm blade length, and weighs just 57 grams—offering a perfect balance of portability and usability.
Bring a piece of Scotland’s storied past into your life. Whether worn as part of ceremonial attire or displayed as an exquisite artifact, the Sgian Dubh embodies heritage, elegance, and craftsmanship.
