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.
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.
Now Cold Steel® is pleased to introduce a modern, updated version of this romantic and historically significant knife. The thin, acutely pointed blade is made of AUS 8A Stainless Steel. The traditional “jimping” on the back of the blade is both functional and decorative. The deeply checkered Kraton handle is designed to afford a wide variety of comfortable and secure grips.
Comes complete with a Concealex™ neck sheath and steel bead chain lanyard.
