| Cold Steel Naval Dirk - 88ND |
88ND - The Naval Dirk:
During the golden age of sail, the Naval Dirk was a common sight on
port town streets or on the windswept quarterdecks of a British Man
of War. Worn daily by young mid shipmen and officers alike, it was
often beautifully made and richly decorated. It was never simply a
fashion accessory though; it was a very dangerous and lethal
weapon. At sea, it made for a very effective slashing or stabbing tool
that could be used independently or in combination with a cutlass,
sword or saber.
Our interpretation of this classic shipboard weapon features a 16
1/2", double edged, 1050 high carbon steel blade with a wide fuller
and a thick spine for strength. To protect one’s fingers and to serve
as an aid in parrying, it comes with a generous solid brass cross
guard. The traditionally styled polished black horn grip is attractively
ornamented with a brass pommel and matching spacers.
Handsomely crafted and ready for battle, the Cold Steel Naval Dirk
comes complete with a wood lined leather scabbard. The scabbard
includes a decorative brass throat and chape as well as a carrying
ring.
