Scottish Dirk/Boot Dagger DIY
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2015 5:46 pm
Hi All,
wanted to share some pics of a compact double edge boot dagger shaped like a traditional Scottish Dirk (16th-18th century, Britain), that I completed today. Have kept the blade surface pretty basic with only hand rubbing to replicate a rough/weathered medieval look. Though, with fairly sharp edges and compact size, I am inclined to try it out as an EDC.
Have used the usual Tool Steel, with epoxy handle covered with thin parachord. the sheath is wood splines covered with latex.
Please have a look; comments and suggestions are most welcome.!
