DIRKS

Dirks are small knives that have been around for a very long time. They were used by sailors and soldiers, and even pirates, as a handy tool to carry around with them.

A dirk has a sharp, pointed blade and a handle that fits in your hand. The blade can be made of different materials like steel or iron, and the handle can be made of wood or other materials like bone or antler.

Sometimes, people wear dirks as part of their traditional dress. In Scotland, for example, a dirk is often worn as part of a traditional kilt outfit.

But it's important to remember that dirks are not toys and should only be handled by adults who know how to use them safely. You should never play with a dirk or use it to hurt others.
