Many original dirks were made up from broken sword blades. We like this dirk because it s fitted with a blade designed to look like a cut-down backsword blade.The hardwood grip is carved in V patterns (precursor to Celtic basket weave). There is a steel plate between the grip and the blade with a smaller, steel-capped pommel. The leather-wrapped wooden scabbard is fitted with a steel throat and tip and has a horizontal loop to accommodate a drop belt strap.
