The most famous weapon of the Highlanders is the broadsword (both the Claymore two-handed variety and the basket-hilted broadsword). Second most famous may be the Sgian Dubh - the small “black knife” today worn mostly for looks peeking out of your kilt hose. The Scottish Dirk is of course the third and is still a standard uniform piece for many bagpipers and honor guards.
But how do you wear the dirk with modern civilian Highland dress? The dirk is a very long dagger usually hung on a loop from the kilt belt. It can be clumsy to wear with an Argyll jacket and vest, or the classic Prince Charlie jacket and waistcoat. This has not prevented men from wearing a dirk for a special occasion like a Celtic wedding.
Rocky and Erik go over why it is problematic and offer some suggestions. Fair warning - the best ways to do this are also the most expensive.
