Skean Dhu means ‘Black Knife’ in Gaelic (the ancient language of the British Isles). Typically, these knives were carried covertly on one’s person or wedged in a stocking top in the style of the kilt-clad highland warriors.
Now Cold Steel® is pleased to introduce a modern, updated version of this romantic and historically significant knife.
The Culloden, commemorates by name, the Scottish nation’s last heroic battle at Culloden on April the sixteenth, 1746. It offers today’s highlander an alternative to the traditional double edged boot knife.
