Scottish Dirk

Scottish Dirk

A dirk is a type of dagger that originated in Scotland in the late medieval or early modern period. It is characterized by a long, slender blade that is sharpened on both edges and tapers to a point. The blade is typically straight, although some dirks have blades that are slightly curved. The hilt of a dirk is usually made of wood or metal and is often decorated with precious metals or gems. The dirk was traditionally worn as a sidearm by Scottish Highlanders and was used for both self-defense and as a utility knife. In modern times, the dirk is still an important part of Scottish culture and is often worn as a ceremonial weapon at weddings and other special occasions.
