Our damascus-bladed Sgian Dubh rivals those of the Victorian era in quality. Unlike other modern Sgian Dubh's that are decorative at best and heavily reliant on plastic, ours is both handsome and fully functional, with a high-carbon fileworked damascus blade, full-length tang and basket-weave studded hardwood grip topped by a royal purple crystal. Complemented by a hardwood sheath and embossed fittings, the Sgian Dhub is a piece that any highlander would be proud to carry.

The highland clansman of the 17th and 18th centuries were noted for the dirks they wore as part of their daily dress. In battle the dirk was held in the left hand along with a small circular shield known as a targe and a basket-hilted broadsword was used in the right hand. With this combination of weaponry not only could the clansman ward off enemy blades but he could also despatch either one or two opponents simultaneously. Early Scottish dirks developed from the medieval ballock dagger and often had plain wooden grips carved with Celtic interlace. The blades were single edged- long and extremely pointed.
Later highland dirks had metal re-enforced grips and the blades were often ground down from broken swords. The dirk is still in use today both as part of military highland dress and as a general highland dress accessory.

The Dirk is patterned after an early model (circa 1700) and is similar in form to earlier ballock knives. The blade is "backed" (single-edged and wedge-shaped in cross section). The hilt is hand carved in Macassar ebony.
