The Officer is a distinctive Sgian Dubh inspired by the practical multi-purpose knives historically associated with Highland military dress. Assembled with a lead-free pewter crest, an Indian ebony handle, stainless steel blade and tool attachements.
The first recorded use of this type of modified Sgian Dubh was during the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856. Officers of the Highland Regiments commissioned these tools with corkscrews and hoof picks to help them with day-to-day camp life. Here we have here replaced the hoof pick with a screwdriver and bottle opener as befitting modern needs.
