Sgian Dubh
The sgian dubh or Scottish black knife became fashionable in the mid-1700s. It is also called a Scottish sock knife because people carried them in their hose or boots. The Disarming Acts, enacted for the purpose of disarming Catholic rebels in their Scottish nests, prohibited Highlanders from owning or carrying weapons. They were forced to conceal the weapons they secretly kept.

Arkansas Toothpick Survival Knife
The Arkansas Toothpick is a famous knife that was widely used in North America during the 19th century.
