Okay. I am a kilted maniac myself so don't take offense. I see it as a compliment. This dirk is similar to those carried by lower class Scotsmen. Nothing overly fancy, but beautiful functionality. Brass and bronze were popular in Scotland since they do not rust so that is what we've used for the guard and buttcap on this piece. The hand forged blade is stout and strongly tapered. The last four inches of the blade are double edged. The grip is made from curly maple and nicely stained. Thos rugged Scottish explorers of the 18th century might have carried a no frills workhorse like this. Includes a brown leather sheath.
