Dirks are for Pipes & Drums

[McMurdo]

I've only worn my dirk one time, it was at our Burns Dinner this year and I was honoured to be doing the Address to a Haggis, therefore I wore and used the dirk, however I can not think of many other reasons to wear one. You are correct on a daily basis that does look silly, does he wear a doublet every time he kilts up too? I think he should be gently discouraged of such a practice.

I have a dirk that I wear for my living history group. It's the wrong period, but I'm working on fixing that. I wore my dirk for a friend's wedding at her request- she wanted to use it to cut the cake. The look on the face of the caterers son when my friend pulled it out of it's sheath was priceless...
