Wrench Sgian Dubh Double Edge Stainless Fixed Blade Knife

The Wrench Sgian Dubh Double Edge Stainless Fixed Blade Knife from Rite Edge is hand-forged, piece by piece, from an actual railroad spike, a 4.75-inch double-edge stainless blade with full tang construction, 9.75 inches overall, shipped with a leather sheath. Made in Pakistan.

The Sgian Dubh is a traditional Scottish Highland pattern, a small knife historically worn tucked into the top of a kilt hose as part of formal dress rather than carried as a working field tool. The name itself is Scottish Gaelic for black knife, a reference to the traditionally dark handle rather than the blade. Building this particular version from a railroad spike rather than standard bar stock gives it a rustic, hand-forged character that a machine-stamped blank simply can't replicate, and every spike holds its own dents and wear from years spent holding down track, so the finished blade and handle reflect that specific piece of steel rather than a uniform, identical factory blank.

A double-edge blade is less common on this pattern than a single edge, giving the piece a symmetrical profile from edge to edge rather than a distinct cutting side and a flat spine. Full tang construction holds the original spike's steel the entire length of the piece, handle included, rather than fitting a separate grip material over the tang the way many other knives do.
