Plain Horn Sgian Dubh Boxed,A traditionally styled sgian dubh with a plain horn handle and fine steel blade. The leather sheath is embossed with a Celtic motif to show from the sock-top.,In the times when current Highland attire originated it paid to be well armed.,Because Scots of that era had little faith in paper money wealth was carried as the precious metals and stones in the adornments to the costume. Protecting that wealth was vital.,As well as a sharp sword various knives some concealed were carried by most.,The sgian dubh now normally visible in the sock-top and the highland dirk on the belt are the most easily recognised. Where legally permitted these still form an essential part of traditional highland wear.,A very distinctive gift for a special person.
