Scottish Highland Dress Dirk

Offered is a handsome vintage Scottish Highland dress dirk complete with its original black leather scabbard. Designed in the traditional Highland style, this impressive ceremonial knife features a long spear-point blade, carved hardwood grip, ornate brass fittings, and an engraved thistle pommel—one of Scotland’s most recognizable national symbols.

The grip is beautifully carved with traditional basketweave-style decoration and remains solid and attractive. The blade features decorative filework along the spine and retains a pleasing aged finish with honest signs of use and light patina. The brass guard, pommel, and scabbard fittings have developed an attractive vintage patina that complements the overall appearance.

The included original black leather scabbard is fitted with brass throat and tip mounts and features an integral belt loop, making it ideal for display with Highland attire or as part of a military or edged weapons collection.

Scottish dirks have been worn for centuries as symbols of Highland heritage and honor. Today they remain an important part of formal Highland dress, military pipe bands, clan gatherings, and ceremonial events. 

Whether you’re a collector of Scottish militaria, edged weapons, or simply appreciate finely crafted traditional arms, this dirk makes an outstanding display piece.
