Description

CS88SD: Scottish Dirk

Cold Steel

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.

Our 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 1055 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 an 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.

Cold Steel Scottish Dirk

Have owned one of these Dirks for several years now, and all was fine until I retired and moved to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. The atmosphere is highly corrosive to 1055 carbon steel here, so the beautiful polished blade, and blued parts are now etched and pitted . Will have to disassemble it and have all metal parts refinished to a black finish more resistant to the elements

Almost Have it Right!

Traditionally correct, but Blade Edge is at 20 degrees. Should be wielding degree 25 -30. Brad's should be Brass. No other complaints... Bought two.. 4.25 .Correct the anomalies... Cold Steel India makes Great Steel, just take too many Nontraditional Design Decisions.

Beautiful blade and handle

I like the old style look and it feels great in the hand. I only purchased the dirk for collection reason, and as such have not used it for hard task. I carry it as a defense weapon when I do carry it. Was disappointed that the blade wasn't razor sharp out of the box. Would not shave hair.
