Dress dirk & sgian dubh I wear with formal wear.

Home-made dirk & antler sgian dubh I wear with a feileadh mhor, or when I need a dirk with casual wear.

hmm...where is your war dirk, swimming dirk, or the one you use when changing the oil?

all siliness aside, that is a great collection!

Nice collection PiobBear.

I only have one dirk (I made the handle from antler and Austrailian Lacewood)



I am working on another for way2fractious.



The dirk is complete and I have started the sheath. I still need to cover it with leather and make a frog (I was very interested in your pictures of the ones you had made and posted on another thread).

Cheers

... when I need a dirk with casual wear...

Your collection is impressive. Really impressive.

However, it underscores the fact that highland dress comes in several levels of formality. So, OK, I'm curious. On what informal occassions would I wear my soon-to-be one and only dirk (pictured above by Panache)?
