When you make it you can call it what ever you want to'

Traditional dirks can be very large. 13 inch blades.

Nothing wrong with that label. Scottish dirks don't always have a guard. Most naval dirks I have seen do. But, it is a single edge, spear point, and looks appropriately shaped for business.

That is a very nice looking knife, and an even better price. Should not last long!
