A dirk, the long personal dagger carried by Highland officers and gentlemen, its blade engraved to reflect the decorative tradition surrounding this deeply symbolic piece of Highland dress.
The dirk holds a significant place in Scottish Highland tradition, evolving from a practical sidearm into an essential symbol of Highland dress and personal honour, closely related in cultural role to the smaller sgian dubh. Officers of Highland regiments carried the dirk as both a functional dagger and a mark of status, and it remains part of ceremonial Highland attire today.
Deepeeka’s reproduction carries an engraved blade, part of our Scottish heritage range.
