Art Pewter Jewellery Scotland

A Selection of Our Sporrans

A select range of highly distinctive dress sporrans hand made in Scotland by traditional methods using real leather and genuine Greenland sealskin ( bovine for USA ); incorporating finest quality lined leather straps and "Diamond Cut" chains.

A Selection of Our Highland Dirks

The Highland Dirk certainly since the 15th century, has been distinctive from European daggers in having but a single edge, the heavier blade perfectly balanced for use also as a short sword.

The oldest Dirks had carved knotwork pommels, plain scabbards and simple ornamentation, whereas 18th century variants often had embellished scabbards to accommodate a knife and fork in the pattern of the Highland Regimental Officers.

The Clan Crest Dirk will accept any of our Crest badges. All these Dirks have finest quality hand wrought tempered steel blades, and solid cowhide sheaths.

All are supplied gift boxed with historical notes.

A Selection of Our Sgian Dubhs

Sgian dubh is Gaelic for black ("dubh") dagger ("sgian"), as invariably the handle was carved from black bog oak, and perhaps more subtly, the word "black" implies "secret" or "covert" as in "blackmail" or "blackmarket".

Normally this weapon of last resort was concealed, only to be exhibited in the presence of a host out of courtesy, usually in the sock where it would be seen.

The Clan Crest Sgian Dubh will accept any of our small crest badges.

All are supplied gift boxed except for the safety versions.
