Arranging for a firk trade

**Drac** · 28th March 11, 07:31 PM

Good day all,

Working with another maker on a trade for a dress dirk. Besides the Ren Fair (where it will be worn most) what other occasions would there be a chance to get some mileage out of it?

From what I've read on the forums it gets very little use.

I almost always use my firk with my gnife.

I'm not sure about Texas, but here in California you can't trade for a firk or pay her cash.

I was going to ask Drac if he wanted me to edit the thread name but now it would just make everyone ask....

What the firk?

For advice on getting mileage out of a firk, I would probably PM
the firkin king of the forum, Dale Seago.

I'd think it depends largely on how "dressy" the firk looks and what "style" it is. If it's something like one of those canted-jeweled-pommeled Victorian-style monstrosities it just wouldn't "look right" with casual attire, and it would be way too anachronistic for something like a RenFaire.

On the other hand, if it's something like one of these incredibly fancy yet functional ones by Garth Duncan. . .I'd wear it for any kilted occasion, no matter how formal or casual. I'd wear it to work. I'd wear it to church. I'd buy it its own little blanky and bring it to bed with me at night.
