That is the most spectacular dirk I have ever seen. What an amazing collaboration of master craftsmen. The precision, the workmanship, the styling--it is elegant and subtle...oh, no, I've given myself the vapors...must find a paper bag into which I shall hyperventilate...thank you for sharing this...Regards...
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
