    New Dirk

    OK, I know it's kind of "RenFair-ish", but I bought a new dirk, from eBay.


    Nothing elaborate, nice simple celtic design, with red stone, that matches my sgian dubh.

    It's a good looking dirk and closer to the way they were originally. Here are some from the Edinburgh museum for comparison -

    Quite a nice looking item, & a pleasant change from the knock-off piper's dirks with "India" stamped all over them. Hmmmm, maybe back to ebay for me too

    I don't have a dirk, but that looks pretty good. Many skean dubh's though.

    I don't think it looks ren-fairish at all. It's quite nice.

    Do the kilted world a favor, though, and only wear it when you're dressed formally.

    First chance I get.
    I'm meeting up with my brothers, for a kilted weekend... one of them is a camera-hound... I'm sure he'll snap a few.
