Description
Scottish Pewter Sgian Dubh Knife Kilt Scarf Pin (Scotland)
Imported from Scotland and made in the UK, this large kilt pin is shaped like a Celtic knife, or Sgian Dubh. Sgian Dubh, pronounced (SKI-DO), literally means ‘dark (dubh) knife (sgian)’ in Scots Gaelic. The ‘dubh’ refers to its secretive, hidden nature, rather than its physical color. The idea was to have a small, hidden knife that could be used if you’d been disarmed, or had surrendered your arms at a meeting. It is typically placed with the handle showing outside of the sock, on the leg. (This is not a weapon, just a pin.)
Made of polished pewter
Measures 3.75 inches long by .5 inches wide
Use to close your favorite kilt, skirt, or scarf and show your Scottish pride. Perfect for everyday wear or Scottish, Celtic, and Renaissance festivals.
