The Scottish Dirk, or Highland Short Sword, is a fine piece of craftsmanship. Another winner from Cold Steel, this Dirk is fully sharpened and battle-ready so please don't confuse it for a toy or a simple wall-hanger. Certainly this Dirk is attractive enough for a display piece, with its leather, blued-steel trimmed scabbard, it is a functional sword with a 13” blade.
