DirkEarly dirks were lethal stabbing weapons. This bronze example was found at Seggie near Milnathort in Kinross. It dates from between 1300 and 1100 BC. The dirk has a rounded butt and two rivet holes. It is cracked across the blade. Daggers and spears were used both for warfare and for hunting. Over time, however, through improving metal technology, more efficient weapons were made. Dirks are generally more robust and larger than the earlier Bronze Age daggers they developed from.
