# Theatrical Pocket Knives The Perceval Sgian Dubh Knife Was Original Meant as a Kilt Costume Piece By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-05-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perceval-sgian-dubh References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/perceval-sgian-dubh-knife/) Uncrate brand created the new Perceval Sgian Dubh Knife, a stylish and sleek [pocket knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-companion) that was traditionally made to be a hidden self-defence tool that is still a key product for traditional Scottish kilt costumes. The remade design features [Sandvik](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chic-pocket-knife) steel on a 3.94 dagged pointed blade with a modern take on the original shape to improve function and handling. Using a dense Gabon ebony wood, the comfortable handle is accented by a German silver hilt and base. The entire knife was handcrafted in Thiers, France -- created to be elegant and timeless enough to be put on display, yet useful enough to be far from ornamental. The new Perceval Sgian Dubh Knife from Uncrate is available online now for $575, as the perfect addition to any costume or camping set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sleek Pocket Knives:** Opportunity for creating stylish and functional pocket knives that cater to modern aesthetic preferences. - **Traditional Scottish Costumes:** Potential for innovative products that merge traditional Scottish costume elements with modern design and functionality. - **Handcrafted Knives:** Demand for high-quality, artisanal knives that combine craftsmanship with practicality. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the outdoor gear industry by offering cutting-edge, visually appealing pocket knives. - **Fashion and Costume:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating unique accessories that blend traditional costume elements with contemporary style. - **Luxury Goods:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the luxury goods market by introducing high-end, handcrafted knives as collectible items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Everyday Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damascus.md) - [Dynamic Movement Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-sidewinder-knife.md) - [Luxury Damasteel Utility Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade.md) - [Haute Eyewear-Inspired EDCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chic-pocket-knife.md) - [Minimalist Multipurpose Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-special-companion-damast-knife-2025.md) - [Minimalist EDC Dagger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-sheath-dagger.md) - [Landscape-Honoring Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesn-ridgeback-microblade.md) - [Art Deco-Inspired Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kershaw-noventa-knife.md) - [Celebratory Pocket Knife Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gerber-savvy-back-on-black.md)
