Sgian Dubh Kilt Knives

The term sgian dubh comes from Gaelic and means black knife, pronounced 'skee-an doo'. Wear this small ceremonial sgian-dubh knife inside the top of your kilt socks. The accessory works best alongside our kilt flashes, a sporran, and other kilt accessories. You can pair the piece with a full kilt outfit to complete your Highland look.

Pewter Blade and Celtic Sheath Designs

We make the blade from pewter and leave it unsharpened. That way, we keep it as a traditional ceremonial knife, and not as a tool for cutting. The sheath protects the blade, features traditional Celtic knot patterns, and comes with high-quality chrome mounts for a polished, durable finish.

Wooden or Plastic Handle: Which Suits You?

You can choose between a wooden handle and a plastic handle. Wooden handles offer a conventional style with a rich finish, making them ideal for traditional sgian dubhs. They look great with formal Highland wear, such as Prince Charlie or Argyll jackets. Plastic handles are lightweight alternatives at a lower price. This choice is best for casual kilt wearers who want to keep costs down. Select wood for a classic look and pick plastic for savings.

Clan Crest Sgian Dubh Designs

Our sgian dubh comes with engraved and embossed thistle emblem or clan crest on the handle. This detail displays your clan identity alongside your tartan. We supply each sgian dubh exactly as shown in the product images. You should contact us before you place an order if you need a specific clan design. Some designs are only available on custom order.

Sgian Dubh for Weddings and Highland Games

You tuck the sgian dubh into the top of your kilt hose. Make sure the hilt peeks out above the socks. This small knife is the perfect accessory for your kilt, jacket, and sporran at weddings. It's also a standard piece of attire for the Highland Games.
