16 inches Blade Scottish Dirk-modern

Scottish Dirk – 16-Inch Hand-Forged Modern Dirk Knife with Rosewood Handle

The Everest Forge Scottish Dirk is a modern interpretation of one of Scotland’s most iconic blades. The dirk evolved from the medieval ballock dagger and became a vital sidearm for Highland warriors during the 17th and 18th centuries. Traditionally worn with the Highland dress, the dirk symbolized status, heritage, and martial readiness. It played a key role in clan warfare and was carried into battle alongside the broadsword and targe. Even after the Jacobite uprisings, when many weapons were banned, the dirk survived as a ceremonial piece and symbol of national pride.

This version honors that legacy while being designed for practical, modern use. Each blade is hand-forged from high-quality 5160 spring steel—reclaimed from truck suspension—for strength and resilience. Forged using traditional techniques, then water-tempered for optimal hardness and flexibility, the 16-inch blade is sharpened and fully functional. The 7-inch rosewood handle features full tang construction for a solid, balanced grip. Whether used in the field, for ceremonial reenactment, or as a collector’s centerpiece, this Scottish Dirk is both historically rooted and ready for real-world performance.
