This magnificent sword sized Scottish Dirk is the must have for every highlander for when a long knife is just not quite enough.
However I must be clear they never really existed but my goodness they should have done! Dirks are stylistically odd in that what appears to be the handle is actually part of the grip. Your hand should extend down over the haunches and up onto the pommel and so what seems to be a very small grip has lead to confusion. So I made a film about it and the Swirk (sword sized dirk) was born.
It is authentically styled with a black wood grip, brass pommel and guard and a magnificent scabbard and belt using decoration from existing dirk sheaths. Although it is fantasy, based in history, it is still 100% sword with a hand forged, 1060 spring steel, single edged dirk style blade with fuller and filework.
It matches in perfectly with other dirks in our range and of course our Sgian Dhu for the ultimate contrast between big and small.

Edge sharpness
Semi-Sharp is 'butter knife sharp'; it has a very fine flat on the edge. Sharp has been ground to give a reasonable cutting edge, but final honing, if required, is by the customer.
