 Late 18th century highland officers dirk

This dirk has been styled on surviving historical specimans of the late 18th century.

Early Scottish dirks were modelled on the medieval ballock dagger and often had a plain wooden grip decorated with celtic interlacing.

The hilt of this dirk is made of oak and the blade is EN45 sprung steel.

This dirk has black oak with silver coloured fittings.

The dirk measures just over 20 1/2" (521mm) in its scabbard, which is wood wrapped with leather.

and the blade measures approx 15 1/2" (393mm).

A metal pommel cap and ferrule protect the wooden hilt against damage, and a small fork and knife are carried in the metal mounted sheaf side by side,

This style has been popular for centuries and continues to be an integral feature in regimental officers dirks today.

This dirk would make an excellent re-enactment piece or an attractive decoration.

Reviewer: Illiam Costain McCade from United Kingdom   5 Stars
I was looking for a new sgian dubh and dirk for a wedding. After placing an order I was contacted by Liz with a couple of suggestions as to how I could better match the 'weapons'. She then went out of her way to ensure the items were dispatched in time to arrive before I went on holiday. They arrived within 24 hours. The quality of the items is right for the price and their planned use (ie decorative). The blades are not sharp, so if you want something you can peel an apple or skin a hog with then you will need to look for a proper weapon style dirk. They are not high-end quality finish but certainly good enough to look great as part of the overall outfit. In short - my experience is that bladesandbows have a very high level of customer service.
