Interesting Dirks: Has Anyone Seen These Before?

[OC Richard]

Yes I believe those are made in India, and the quality (I think) is pretty good. I've handled a number of Indian-made reproduction swords, and I have a Claymore, and they're well made.

I like that dirk because it's a classic fairly early simple design, I would guess of the sort worn c1800. Not the classic 18th century dirk, nor the High Victorian dirk with cast silver fitments, but in between. My only quibble is that the small knife and fork look a bit too narrow to be in the ordinary proportion with the rest. Actually the knife handle is a bit small too, but not as much.

I'm thinking about getting one myself!
