    Hi Jamie,

    Glad you could verify what I thought about the Cold Steel Dirk. I think it is a very good deal for the money. It does look very smart with the sword belt and the doublet. I get what you mean about the difficulty of navigating a party with a knife that large. Also, Cold Steel product are razor sharp, so if someone wants to see it, you have to be careful. A person could get quite a cut if they assumed it was dull. Cold Steel makes real weapons. This is no exception. A person might want to check the laws in their area, before wearing it. It is still on the wish list!

    I've also looked at Atlanta Cutlery's Sgian Dubh blades. I plan to build one of those.

    All the ones I saw above were reproduction 18th century dirks.

    If you were looking for Victorian-style dirks with knife and fork there are inexpensive ones made in India but most of them are gaudy and ill-proportioned.

    There were some that were nicer than most, plain nickel fittings and decent proportions for around $100 but I can't find them online now.

    I did find this site which has some decent-looking inexpensive India-made reproduction Victorian dirks, though they are a bit on the gaudy side:
