These are proper size and weight for a sgian dubh, designed to be stuck in top of hose. The emblems all have significance in Scottish culture. This one emblazoned with a rampant lion (incorporated into the Great Seal of Scotland and Royal Coat of Arms) Pommel is a faceted red 'gemstone'. The thistle that appears on all these sgian dubhs is an emblem of Scotland's high chivalric order, the Order of the Thistle and also appears in the base of the Royal Coat of Arms. The so-called ‘guardian thistle’ is the origin of one of Scotland's official mottos No-one harasses me with impunity.
