It is also suggested that “black” means secret, or hidden. This is based on the stories associated with the Highland custom of depositing weapons at the entrance to a house prior to entering as a guest. Despite this practice, a small twin edged-dagger, (‘Mattucashlass’), concealed under the armpit, combined with a smaller knife, (‘Sgian dubh’), concealed in the hose or boot, would offer an element of defence or of surprise if employed in attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge-restricted item — 18+ only.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a bladed article.
