Scottish Highland Dirk Clan Badge Top

Scottish Highland Dirk Clan Badge Top.The Highland dirk is known to have been in use since the 5th century. Its trademark distinction from European daggers is in in having but a single edge. This causes the blade to be heavier and thusly perfectly balanced for use as a short sword.
