Blade:

12" single edged blade of hand forged and clay hardened 1095 high carbon steel with ropework jimping on the spine, polished and etched to bring out the hamon, given a deep mustard patina, and honed to a fine edge.

Handle:

The handle is hand carved sycamore: the haunches have deeply carved panels of fine basketweave, while the shaft is covered in a heavier basketweave, and the pommel has a band of dirk knot braid. The carving is set with brass and copper pins at the interstices.

Mounts:

The pommel nut is sculpted brass and the guard and integral shoulder straps are forged and sculpted steel, as is the  pommel plate. The dirk has an accompanying by-knife in 1095, sycamore and copper, housed in  the front of the scabbard.

Sheath:

The blade is protected by a laminated millboard scabbard, covered with deerskin leather. The tip of the sheath is reinforced with a forged copper chape. The sheath has a belt loop attached with a copper bail and suspension ring.

Sgian Dubh:

This Dirk has a matching Sgian Dubh utilising the same techniques and materials.
