5 reviews for Cold Steel Scottish Dirk

  1. Carson

    Good for display. NOT for a weapon. I would be lying if I said this was an unattractive piece, but that’s about the only plus for this blade. Overall the handle is too rounded, and thus edge alignment is hard to control. It’s also quite light, so cuts are not really powerful enough for use as a tool or anything. The threaded pommel loosens up too easily. Overall for an overpriced display piece, I think you could do better.

    A strong, sturdy piece. I am a fan of Cold Steel products, and after buying thier Broadsword, I bought the dirk. I am a practitioner of historical scottish swordplay, and use this for the basis of my review.

    Cold Steel has a reputation for crwating hefty weapons, which while making them sturdy as hell, makes them historically inaccurate at times.

    However, i do not have this issue with this dirk. It is a sturdy piece, with a stout blade, while remaining light enough to move effortlessly. The blade cuts well, provided you have a strong grip. The rounded handle makes edge alignment the only issue I have with the blade, but provided you aren’t swinging crazy, its not terrible. I keep this blade by my bed as a first line of defense. I have taken ir on several overnight hiking/camping adventures with great results.

    I like it. There’s quality workmanship in it. The scabbard is really nice too. I can’t find any flaws with it. It took a razor sharp edge. Not too heavy or too light.

    I’m impressed. This one’s a keeper.

    I’ve had this Dirk for a few years and have been very happy with it. I love the geometry of it. It’s just really nice to look at it. And none of my blades, including my swords, have ever fit so buttery smoothly into their scabbards as this one does. And I think the best thing I can say about it is, no other dagger or dirk I’ve ever bought since causes me to draw it and admire it again and again like this blade does.

    A great buy. Would recommend.

    – Appearance from a distance: 9/10, looks good, nothing fancy but I am pleased.
    – Appreciate close-up: 8/10, only very minor imperfections (slight gap between blade and hilt, sheath is not great). But the blade is evenly ground with a smooth finish, and a straight edge. The wooden carving and metal studs on the grip are satisfyingly well done.
    – Balance: 10/10, feels perfect in terms of weight, nimble handling, balances about one finger-width in front of the guard
    – Grip: 9/10, very comfortable, the flat section allows you to feel with your thumb for edge alignment. Suitable for hammer, sabre, or ice-pick grips. The grip is about an inch too long for my aesthetic taste but it is not a problem during use.
    – Sharpness 7.5/10, edge came sharp but not quite enough to cut hair off my arm. It does cut paper quite well though. But for my taste, I will be honing the edge. The tip is quite pointy.

    Final thoughts: I am thoroughly pleased by all aspects of this dirk (apart from the sheath which is just ok). I would absolutely buy it again. In fact I wish I had bought another one of these instead of the devil’s edge dirk which I also purchased.
