Sgian Dhub is Gaelic for black (dhub) dagger (sgian), as invariably
the handle was carved from black bog oak, and more subtly, as the word
"black" meant secret or covert as in "blackmarket"; most
appropriate for this weapon of last resort which was usually concealed,
only to be exhibited in the presence of a host out of courtesy, and
thus placed in the wearer's hose in an obvious position. |  |
