The '''Sgian Dhu''' (pronounced "skee(a)n doo") is a short [[Dagger|dagger]] with a black handle. The weapon is known to be used by [[Rakkety Tam MacBurl]] and his companion [[Wild Doogy Plumm]]; Tam wears his Sgian Dhu tucked behind his cap feathers.

Doogy and Tam temporarily lost their Sgian Dhus, and the rest of their weapons, when they disobeyed [[Squirrelking Araltum]] and his wife [[Idga Drayqueen]]; however, when the [[Horde of a hundred white vermin|horde]] of [[Gulo the Savage]] killed many of Araltum's squirrels, the two warriors reclaimed their weapons and went after the wolverine.

Later, they used their Sgian Dhus and daggers when they freed a captive [[Sister Armel]] and [[Brookflow]] from Gulo, as their [[Claymore]]s were too large to use in the stealth mission.

Following the [[Seasons of the Savage]], Tam taught his daughter, [[Melanda MacBurl|Melanda MacBurl,]] to fence with the Sgian Dhu.

===Books===
Sgian Dhus appear in ''[[Rakkety Tam]]''.

=== Trivia ===
*The weapon is a Scottish-inspired blade, with the name being a common derivation of ''sgian-dubh'' (Scots Gaelic for "black knife").
