 The Scottish Dirk...
The Scottish Highland Dirk certainly since the 15th century, has been distinctive from European daggers in having but a single edge, the heavier blade perfectly balanced for use as a short sword.
The oldest Dirks have hand carved knotwork pommels, plain scabbards and simple ornamentation whereas 18th century variants often had embellished scabbards to accommodate a knife and fork in the pattern of the highland Regimental Officers.
Our Scottish Highland Dirks have the finest quality hand wrought tempered steel blades and solid cowhide sheaths - supplied in gift boxes with historical notes.
