Double edged
dirks.
Early (circa 15thCent.) Scottish dirks were double edged.
Often made from broken swords. Eventually the penalty for
possession (the loss of blade and hand) caused a shift to
the now conventional single edged dirk.
After
much historical research, and patient exacting
craftsmanship using the highest quality steel, antler,
wood and leather, we can introduce a range of superb
Dirks, with or without accompanying knife and fork, also
Sgian Dubhs.
These are weapons grade dirks forged with precision and care to your specific body dimensions. These are not out of the box, massed produced items, or Victoriana, or imports from an Asian or Middle Eastern country.
Before
your dirk is made you will provide your hand, grip, and
arm dimensions. The sterling silver mounted, or handle
scultptured from deer antler, will be a dirk that is
uniquely yours.

Single edged dirks. Replaced the double edged dirks often made from broken swords. The now conventional Scottish single edged dirk could be claimed to be a domestic utility knife which was a man's right to possess without the loss of hand or blade.
