Macdonald Armouries has created various European knife forms from 14th century to WW2. We also create traditional Highland dirks, replicating or following 17th and 18th century originals, as carried and used by our Jacobite forebearers. Blades are crafted in EN45 steel and grips in either wood, antler, brass, bronze, or a combination of materials. Brass mounted leather scabbards also made either plain or decorated to order.
