Medieval Armor, Swords and Clothing
Early Scottish Dirk
Product Description
Circa 1550
This style dirk is a direct descendant of the medieval ballock dagger. The grip form began to change, probably sometime in the late 16th century, but soon developed a form that was purely Scottish. The blade was long and single-edged. Made to use alone, with a shield and sword, or just with a basket-hilt claymore. We have replicated an early version of the dirk. The hardwood handle is carved with a chevron like pattern copied from an original of the same time period. For those with a serious interest in the Highlands, this is a must for any collection. Includes scabbard. Can be sharpened for additional fee.
Overall: 21"
Blade: 14-7⁄8" long, 1-3⁄4" wide, 3⁄16" thick
Wt: 1 lb
