A Scottish tradition, the original Sgean Dubhs were frequently worn under the shirt close to the armpit. Now it is traditional for the Sgean Dubh to be worn in the stocking of the Highlander, and the knife is frequently called a "stocking dirk". The term "Sgean Dubh" itself actually means black handled knife. The Windlass Steelcraft's Sgean Dubh has a black wooden handle that is carved on one side, smooth on the other. Embossed nickel silver fittings feature a thistle motif, comes with a sheath.

Windlass Steelcrafts has been manufacturing high quality weapons and handicrafts since its inception in 1943. Its founder, Mr. V. P. Windlass set up a manufacturing plant to supply British Gurkha regiments with Kukris, their famous sidearm. Through some key partnerships, Windlass Steelcrafts started exporting to United States and Western Europe in 1979 and since then, have outfitted many armies of the world, provided props to some of the largest Hollywood productions, designed and manufactured some amazing licensed replicas for many top collectible companies and have continued to create products that are both fully functional weapons and works of art.
