Tod Cutler – Early 18th Century Scottish Dirk – sharp

Tod Cutler’s 18th Century Scottish Dirk brings all the classical elements of the Highlander’s iconic sidearm together. The dirk of the Scots was not just a tool for war, but a weapon for everyday self defense that was so ubiquitous as to become a symbol of the Scottish Clan system. Popular also with the Lowland Scots and well as the Highlanders, the Scottish Dirk was an evolution of the Medieval Bollock dagger with clear similarities to the older dagger. Like the originals, this dirk has a high carbon steel blade that is both long and rigid and ideal for capably piercing through thick cloaks and clothing with little effort. The polished, carved grip of hardwood is surmounted by a bolster and pommel cap of fine cast brass with a heart motif; a common and classic embellishment seen on many originals. Included is a sheath of durable leather with embossed detailing, a brass cap and lacing cord for attachment to your belt or personage.
