    Really nice work,my carving leaves much to be desired
    I like the way that you reshaped the blade
    did you retemper it also or leave as is?

    Thanks a lot for your kind comments. I appreciate that.
    @ Joe- One of my requirements concerning a dirk is that it has to be fully functional. So a new heat treatment after reshaping it is a "must".
    Cheers

    Scottish Heritage magazine

    I had to wait all day to see your work, but it was well worth the wait. That is a very nice dirk, I was just reading an article in Scottish Heritage magazine about dirks, and yours is superbly carved.
