Skean-Dhu or Sqian-Dhu

Skean-Dhu or Sqian-Dhu (from the Gaelic) Sgian-Dubb. This decorative short-bladed knife, traditionally worn at the top of a Scotsman’s Kilt hose (socks). Whilst there are many styles of Sgian-Dhu’s the best known is the simple black knife. The wearing it at the top of Kilt hose, probably developed from when a Scotsman was taking the hospitality of another, he would take it from its place and put it where all could see, his way of showing he had no concealed weapons or intentions.

This blade has a simualted Amber stone at the top and a blank plate on one side to allow you to add your own crest.
