Dale, Geoff,

thanks for the accurate information. I'm happy the item i bought could at least be considered as a Dirk. I don't mind it probably can't be sharpened ; that was not my intention anyway. So i'm glad I at least have a "replica" Dirk for my kit. However, I strongly dislike a webshop publishing misleading information, partially or not. Based on the information from Dale, this seems to be the case. I can't comment on the steel since i'm not going to try to sharpen it.
