    If I had a dirk to show at all, that would pretty frightening.

    Cause...you know...it would be REALLY dangerous and sharp. Go big or go home.

    While not technically a dirk, I put this Celtic themed dagger and sheath together two years ago. While the blade is not a Scottish profile, the steel is German. I understand Germany was the source of many original sword and dagger blades used by the Scots.



    Yeah, I know, I'll get with the program and work on a true dirk this winter to match the sgian dubh I made last winter—Damascas blade and antler handle. I'll post that one in the DYI when I get some decent closeups
