Cheap basic Dirk
What do you think, is this a good cheap Dirk?

Also could someone possibly tell me what date it is, 17thC accurate or not?[/url]

I used to own one of those. It was attractive for the pirce and the addition of the knife and fork was nice. The pommel cap screws onto the tang and isn't peened. The grip is awfully simple for any period dirk, but might not be out the realm of possibility. if you have some wood-working skills, you might be able to add some simple carving to dress it up. The sheath features some tooled lines and the brass hardware is more detailed than on most budget scabbard hardware.

I never tested the durability of the blade.
