    I have worn sword and dagger/dick frequently in my years of reenacting (Rev War, Middle Ages and Renaissance), both for looks and in combat related martial arts. So, when it is appropriate to wear said dirk, here are my two cents worth on how to wear your dirk:

    1. Dirk/dagger alone; on the right side just to the rear of the front apron, such as when you walk the weapon rides beside you leg and not in front in the way.

    2. With the sword; as far to the right as it will go and you are still be able to reach it with your left hand while at the engarde with your sword in your right hand.

    3. With the sword; tucked into your belt at the rear pointing to the left so that you can reach it with your left hand while at the engarde with your sword in your right hand.

    I hope this information is of assistance.
