Sgian-dubh (skee-en-doo).  Although the primary meaning of dubh is "black", the secondary meaning of  "hidden" is at the root of sgian-dubh.  Courtesy and etiquette would demand that when entering the home of a friend, any concealed weapons would be revealed. It follows that the sgian -dubh would be removed from its hiding place and displayed in the stocking top.

It is now worn as part of traditional Scottish dress tucked into the top of the kilt hose with only the  upper portion of the hilt showing.This sgian brew can be worn just the same and also comes in handy when a bottle needs opened.

All my antlers come from the Highlands of Scotland and each piece has been specially selected. Due to the nature of antlers no two pieces are the same so you are guaranteed to have a unique item. The item in the picture is the one which will be despatched.
