FIDDLEBACK FORGE - Sgain Dubh
The Fiddleback Forge Sgain Dubh is a great general purpose, every day carry knife. The design has Scottish roots. The sgian-dubh is a small, single-edged knife worn as part of traditional Scottish Highland dress along with the kilt. Originally used for eating and preparing fruit, meat, and cutting bread and cheese – as well as serving for other more general day-to-day uses such as cutting material and protection, 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 visible. The sgian-dubh is normally worn on the same side as the dominant hand.
The Fiddleback Forge Sgain Dubh is a great user knife and would be a great addition to any knife collection as well.
