This collaboration features a 3-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel blade at 0.157 inches thick with DLC finish, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. At 7.5 inches overall and 4.28 ounces, the Sgian Dubh balances capable cutting performance with genuine portability—a blade inspired by centuries of Highland tradition while updated with contemporary materials and construction.
The sgian dubh, pronounced "skee-an doo," takes its name from Scottish Gaelic commonly translated as "black knife" or "hidden knife"—a reference to both its appearance and discreet, easily carried nature.

The Watermelon Camo Carbon scales add distinctive visual character allowing each piece to feel unique while maintaining a secure grip in all conditions. The DLC finish paired with S35VN steel creates a cohesive tactical aesthetic reflecting contemporary craftsmanship.
