It's just more fun to be Scottish. How many people get to wear weapons as part of their formal dress? Worn in the hose (socks) originally as protection, it's now ceremonial and is used to cut the haggis on Burns Night.
Our most popular sgian dubh, this features a thistle emblem and Celtic engraving in the hilt, a yellow stone on the top, engraved chrome detailing on the leather sheath, and a real, sharp stainless steel blade. 7 inches long hilt to tip.

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
Ornamental and pretty enough, not of particularly good quality though

The Dubh was an unexpected part of the ensemble that my husband was impressed with.

Truly an eye catching piece. High quality. Great addition to any pair of kilt hose.
