Some anachronistic dirks here:

The guy to the right of Jamie (background, with horse) has what looks like a brass-mounted version of the dirk Colum wore at the Gathering; handle style is closer to 1800. Jamie's & Dougal's dirks are more mid-to-late1600s, though Highland thrift could argue for hand-me-downs in decent condition. The other guy, center foreground -- can't see his well enough.

Actually, Jamie`s dirk looks exactly like a Hanwei "early dirk," complete with it`s really poor quality sheath. It looks kind of like an early period dirk, except that the handle is almost twice as long as it should be. It can be had from numerous internet sources for well under $100.00
