HIGHLANDWEAR SGIAN DUBH & KILT PINS

The Sgian Dubh (pronounced ‘ski-en doo’), is a small single-edged knife. The Sgian Dubh is said to have originally been part of a set of knives that were used by servants to clean, skin, and dress the meat after the Lord of the manor and his party had been out hunting game.

The Sgian Dubh is now worn as part of the traditional Scottish dress tucked into the top of the kilt hose. It should be positioned so that only the hilt (handle) is visible.
