Scottish Daggers

Historical Daggers from the early Roman times to the Renaissance and Medieval times. Scottish dagger (from Vulgar Latin: 'daca' - a Dacian knife) is a blade weapon (essentially a double-edged knife) used for stabbing, thrusting or as a secondary defense weapon in close combat.Much like battle axes, daggers evolved out of prehistoric tools. They were initially made of flint, ivory or even bone and were used as a weapon since the earliest periods of human civilization.
Scottish daggers offer a full line of unique fantasy for the true collector. Each Scottish dagger takes one back to an ancient world of dark mysticism and surprises when bravery and honor were considered a way of life. Inscriptions, ornate hilts and decorated covers truly enhance the Scottish daggers. The Scottish daggers generally have handles made of box-wood.
Master craftsmen trained in the techniques passed down from generations of weapon-making create individually handmade daggers, making every piece, an original work of art. The substantial blade of the dagger is wide enough to take a proper edge for general cutting as well as retaining the true dagger form for stabbing, or filling the off-hand when engaging the sword. These long dirk blades have etching of the traditional Scottish foliage and thistle motif on both sides of the blade. These daggers were used with devastating effect by Highlanders of old and are a must for historical collectors as well as those who appreciate a quality weapon comparable to those used during medieval times. Beautifully crafted with classic lines, the blade is forged to a sword point. The Scottish daggers are designed with mythical scenes and often hand engraved for the highest detail.
