Scottish Dirk Dagger

Scottish Dirk Dagger – Hand Forged Functional Dagger

This Scottish Dirk Dagger is inspired by the traditional Highland dirk, a long-bladed sidearm historically carried for personal defense, utility, and ceremonial use. Known for its narrow profile and strong thrusting geometry, the dirk was valued for reliability and close-control handling.

Hand forged as a fully functional blade, this dirk features a 12-inch polished high carbon steel blade that is oil tempered for durability and edge stability. The long blade is paired with a solid 6-inch handle, creating excellent balance and reach while maintaining precise control during use.

Built for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and responsible users seeking an authentic, working dirk dagger, this piece is not decorative and reflects traditional proportions with modern forging reliability.
