MY New Blade
« on: June 04, 2020, 08:32:53 PM »

Blade length = 12 1/2"

Handle total length = 5"
     "     max width = 1 3/4"

Sheath is ok ], but not "traditional", so I will have to come up a with dif. 1 later.

Nice dirk !   :applaud

If it were mine, I'd make a minimal sheath that strapped it to the inside of my forearm (inside the sleeve).

That's OK Jack, with that dirk and your kilts, you can probably get a job as an extra on "Outlander" :applaud :applaud

Now that is a proper dirk, my friend. It should be proper attire no matter where you wear that kilt. Grats on a great looking blade.
