Scottish Dirk

The Scottish dirk has a long, tapering blade and a strong connection to Highland dress. Our 18 inch model pairs a 12 inch Damascus steel blade with a sculpted black hardwood grip and steel fittings. Its single edged profile and visible steel pattern give it a different character from a slender stiletto. A matching black leather sheath with a steel throat and chape completes the piece.

Renaissance Stiletto Dagger

The Renaissance stiletto draws on the slim forms associated with Italian historical blades. This model measures 12 inches overall and combines a narrow triangular blade of 1095 high carbon steel with a hardwood grip and steel guard. Its faceted profile is especially distinctive: the blade tapers to a fine point rather than taking the broad, flat shape found on many other dagger styles.

Double Bladed Haladie

A haladie places two curved blades at opposite ends of a central grip, creating a striking outline for a historical blade display. Our haladie knives feature pattern welded Damascus steel and include 20 inch designs with different handle finishes. These pieces are offered for display and collecting. Compare the individual photographs to choose the blade curves, handle appearance, and overall proportions you prefer.

Damascus Daggers and 1095 Steel

A Damascus dagger highlights the pattern created by layers of steel forged together. The Scottish dirk and haladie models in this collection use 352 layer Damascus, giving their blades a flowing surface pattern that adds detail to a display. The Renaissance stiletto uses 1095 high carbon steel, with a more uniform finish that emphasizes its narrow shape and defined facets.

Material is one part of the choice. Handle shape, fittings, blade geometry, and overall length also affect how a dagger looks alongside other pieces. Both the Damascus models and the 1095 stiletto require care against moisture. Keep the blade dry and lightly oiled, following the care guidance for your chosen product.

Choosing a Dagger for Your Collection

• Start with the style. Choose a Scottish dirk for a Highland themed collection, a stiletto for a Renaissance display, or a haladie for its unusual paired blades.
• Compare the measurements. Overall length includes the handle. Check the listed blade length separately when planning a display or comparing two models.
• Look closely at the finish. Damascus patterns, hardwood grips, handle materials, and metal fittings give each design its character.
• Review the included details. Check the individual listing for sheath information and available personalization before ordering.

Dagger Questions

Are all daggers double edged?

No. The designs grouped as daggers have different blade shapes. Our Scottish dirk has a single edged blade, while the stiletto has a narrow triangular section. A double bladed haladie has two separate blades, which describes their arrangement rather than the number of edges on one blade.

Can I order an engraved dagger?

Optional engraving is offered on the Scottish dirk and Renaissance stiletto product pages. Review the personalization choices on your selected dagger to see the available options.

Do daggers come with sheaths?

The Scottish dirk and haladie listings specify included leather sheaths. Check the details of the exact model you choose, since the fittings and included accessories vary by design.
