Originally worn under the armpit, the sgian dubh came to be tucked into the garter, or hose, by way of displaying concealed weapons when entering a friend's home. This practice has lasted through the centuries, and now it is considered an essential part of highland dress. This dummy sgian dubh is made entirely from hard black plastic, with a chrome 'butt' and topaz (yellow) stone for decoration. This style is preferred when it's not suitable to wear a real bladed sgian dubh, for example when flying.

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
These days so many problems can be innocently caused by wearing the traditional Sgian Dubh, this product avoids them, while still maintaining the feeling of traditon

Nice little item for those of you who don't like real knives. Also good if you are like me and fly a lot and don't want trouble with TSA.

This sgian dubh, although fake, has nice chrome and amber-colored stone on top. As only the top shows out of the hose anyway, it is ideal for “show” in an informal setting, plus the grandkids won’t get hurt on the blade if Grandpa lets them look at it up close. This would make a good party favor for boys!
