Cold Steel 88SD Scottish Dirk

The Scottish Dirk that most knife enthusiasts are familiar with these days is more or less a piece of rubbish? a prop?a costume accessory for stage and screen. It?s declined into a ?knife like object? that people hang above their mantles or on the walls of dimly lit wood-paneled dens. Cold Steel's version is a modern replica that harkens back to an earlier form when the dirk was a functioning tool and weapon. The 13'' blade is forged to a hard spring temper from 1050 high carbon steel. It?s 1 1/2'' wide and comes fully sharpened and battle-ready - prepared to hew down any foe. The attractive Rosewood handle is capped with a contrasting blued-steel guard - bolster and disc-shaped pommel - and a handsome leather scabbard completes the package. The scabbard features an extra wide belt loop with a blued-steel throat and chape. This is the perfect companion piece to complete your Highland ensemble - a real fighting dirk instead of a useless piece of metal.
