Edged Weaponry and Jewelry
With the "flavor" of the Highlands
The Ballock Knife was the immediate forerunner of the dirk. Ostentatiously phallic in form and worn centered on one's waist belt, it was a rather "in your face" knife. Carried for about 150 years across northern and western Europe and it had only one true purpose: to punch holes. You can look at a blade shaped like this and know that it is not meant for cutting up your food...
