Pip Top Sgian Dubh

The Pip Top Sgian Dubh features a resin handle adorned with intricate metal knotwork, paired with a stainless steel blade. Crafted by Glen Esk in Birmingham, England, this sgian dubh—a small, single-edged knife—is a distinguished element of Scottish Highland attire. The Gaelic term "sgian dubh" translates to "black knife," reflecting either the dark handle of the original pieces or their traditional concealed wear. Though fully functional, this knife serves chiefly as an elegant accessory, traditionally tucked into the right kilt hose with the hilt elegantly on display.
