Safety Sgian Dubh For those occasions where a real sgian dubh would fall foul of legislation, or for junior highlanders to wear with safety. A traditionally styled, imitation sgian dubh with a Celtic themed design on the handle and sheath. 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
