Original Item: Only One Available. Part of Traditional Scottish Battle Dress is this small knife, known as a Sgian-dubh (phonetic Skean Dhu), which in Scottish Gaelic means “hidden knife”. Often also called “Sock Knives” these are usually only a few inches in length, and are intended to be carried tucked into one of the wearer’s knee socks. The Scottish Military wore Kilts and consequently the Sock Knives at the same time going back to the 1600s.

This is definitely a charming example, measuring just 3″ in blade length and an overall length of a tad more than 6″. The hilt made of a hard black wood, perhaps Ebony or Bog Oak which has been carved with grammatical lines and decorated with silver studs. The pommel sports a clear semi precious stone and the mounts are all of white metal, very possibly silver. Again the mounts have all been decorated with floral engravings. Originally intended to assist in carving a chunk off the Clan’s Roast, we suppose they were even pressed into some sort of self defense.

A charging example almost certainly Georgian (1714-1830). In very nice condition although the blade shows evidence of use and old rust staining. Ready to Display!
