Sgian Dubh's

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 traditional Scottish dress tucked into the top of the kilt hose. It should be positioned so that only the hilt (handle) is visible. In the modern highland outfit, the Sgian Dubh has taken on a more ornamental look.
