This Knife is for Decorative purposes only.
Sgian dubh literally means black dagger, and there are many versions of its spelling and even more debates on how its name was derived- from the colour of the handle, to the dark (black) secret, in that the knife was usually concealed under the armpit and only displayed courteously in the sock when in the company of those you trust. Some regimental offices have even tattooed onto their outer leg an image of the handle. At this price, there is no need to resort to that!
