The Reimagined Sgian Dubh
Contemporary reimagining of the traditional
I create reimagined, contemporary Sgian Dubhs. These blades are designed as a response to my research into their wealth of history, but with a focus on the blade in a modern context. They are now worn and enjoyed as an object, not used as a weapon as they may once have been.
​
My reimagined sgian dubhs are made of stabilised wood sourced from Blockworks UK. Each has unique silver inlayed patterns in a loose interpretation of tartan, celebrating a contemporary sleek style. These silver patterns are polished so that, when being worn, the pattern catches the light. The blades of my sgian dubhs are also made from stabilised wood. They can also feature silver inlays or statement pieces of wood grain.
