During the golden age of sail, the Naval Dirk was a common sight on port town streets or on the windswept quarterdecks of a British Man of War. Worn daily by young mid shipmen and officers alike, it was often beautifully made and richly decorated. It was never simply a fashion accessory.

Cold Steels interpretation of this classic shipboard knife features a 16 1/2in, double edged, 1055 Carbon steel blade with a wide fuller and a thick spine for strength. To protect one’s fingers, it comes with a generous solid brass cross guard. The traditionally styled polished black horn grip is attractively ornamented with a brass pommel and matching spacers. Handsomely crafted, the Cold Steel Naval Dirk comes complete with a wood lined leather scabbard. The scabbard includes a decorative brass throat and chape as well as a carrying ring.
