Dirk

right|300pxA Dirk is usually half as long as a sword and twice as long as a dagger. Dirks appear in The Long Patrol and Rakkety Tam in canon. 
[Tamello De Fformelo Tussock]'s dirk was inherited from his mother.
The hilts of modern Scottish dirks are often carved from dark colored wood such as bog oak or ebony. Hilts and scabbards are often lavishly decorated with silver mounts and have pommels set with cairngorm stones.[citation needed] The blades measure 12" in length and are single-edged with decorative file work known as "jimping" on the unsharpened back edge of the blade. When worn, the dirk normally hangs by a leather strap known as a "frog" from a dirk belt, which is a wide leather belt having a large, usually ornate buckle, that is worn around the waist with a kilt. Many Scottish dirks carry a smaller knife and fork which fit into compartments on the front of the sheath, and a smaller knife known as a sgian-dubh is also worn tucked into the top of the hose when wearing a kilt.
