Dirk. The early Scottish dirk was a direct descendent of the medieval
ballock dagger. The grip form began to change, probably sometime in the
16th century, but soon developed a form that was purely Scottish. The later
versions that are quite popular, are somewhat debased in form, and not
the pure fighting weapon of the early version. And make no mistake about
it... this dirk was a pure fighting knife, and unabashedly so.
The Generation2 version is made from a 1 piece
solid handle hand carved to look like twisted wood, with brass accents.
Blade length: 12"

Note .. The construction
of this sword makes it suitable for Steel-to-Steel.
Also Note..This
sword (and or dagger) comes very sharp.
These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires
the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY
other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
in severe injury to the user and to the
instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments
before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
such as this carries with it a responsibility
to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer
or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
necessary training is NOT available via
books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
Weapons, its employees, nor associated
companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
by use of these instruments. All edged
instruments can be dangerous when handled by ill-trained or
non-trained personnel. We cannot stress
too strongly that, without exception, the user of these instruments must
get the proper training to insure their
own safety and the safety of others.
