Scottish Dirk with leather scabbard
The Scottish Dirk that most knife enthusiasts are familiar with these days is,
more or less, a piece of rubbish - a prop-a costume accessory for stage and
screen. It is declined into a "knife like object" that people hang above their
mantles or on the walls of dimly lit, wood-paneled dens.
Cold Steel's version is a modern replica that harkens back to an earlier form,
when the dirk was a functioning tool and weapon. The 13" blade is forged to a
hard spring temper from 1055 Carbon steel. It's 1 1/2" wide and comes fully
sharpened and ready for combat, prepared to hew down any foe.
The attractive Rosewood handle is capped with a contrasting blued-steel guard,
bolster and disc-shaped pommel, and an handsome leather scabbard completes the
package. The scabbard features an extra wide belt loop with a blued-steel throat
and chape. This is the perfect companion piece to complete your Highland
ensemble, a real fighting dirk, instead of a useless piece of metal.
