The Picture below shows how it is flat on the backside of the knife so that it fits against your leg when
worn in your wool hose with your kilt.
The name comes from the Gaelic meaning "black knife", where "black" may refer to the usual colour of the handle of the knife. It is also suggested that "black" means secret, or hidden, as in the word blackmail. This is based on the stories and theories surrounding the knife's origin and the meaning of "Dubh" in Gaelic.
Now Generation 2 has made one that is simple in design and fits perfectly
in your hose (or sock).
The handle is made from an Iron Wood and features a tempered blade
with a full tang peened at the top of the handle.
A wood sheath wrapped in leather is included.
