Scottish Sgian Dubh, 7" Overall

Scottish 'Thistle' Motif , Ram's Head Emblem, Faceted Green 'Gemstone'

Cast Metal Fittings with  Antique Brass Finish

•••

These are proper size and weight for a sgian dubh, designed to be stuck in top of hose. The emblems all have significance in Scottish culture. This one emblazoned with a Scottish Ram (see wikipedia for reference to Lowland Clan Ramsay and 'I Saved the King') Pommel is a faceted green 'gemstone'. The thistle that appears on all these sgian dubhs is an emblem of Scotland's high chivalric order, the Order of the Thistle and also appears in the base of the Royal Coat of Arms. The so-called ‘guardian thistle’ is also the origin of one of Scotland's official mottos No-one harasses me with impunity.
