    At first I wondered whether it was the right or left, and how it had been preserved. But now that I see it's a ballock knife/dagger. . .Pretty cool!

    I like this one:

    They refer to it as a ballock dagger, but it's actually a ca.1600 "dudgeon" dirk. Perfect for you RenFaire highlanders...!

    Kris Cutlery seems to be paying more attention to historic detail in recent years, I like that one!

    For those who don't know, BTW, the period reference to these as "dudgeon daggers/dirks" in Scotland comes from the common use of boxwood, or dudgeon, for the handles.
