dui chirra or berk special

[John Trout]

Quick question, whats the diff?

Dan asked this question a while ago, and the answer seemed to be only the Berk has 6 antler handled tools, while the regular Dui Chirra just has the 2 regular ones. So the past week we have seen alot of Dui Chirras, but they look like the 6 tooled Berks, or have the name sorta evolved because the standard Dui isn't made anymore, or are these some hybrid or...

ok I have to stop, my head is spinning... :barf:

I guess nobody knows....

I'd have to look up the pix..........

is the blade profile/fullering/grip/scabbard the same
if so then it's a matter of the tools
& the Special came first I think,
so the Dui Chirra (-not- BDC) with 2 tools
is a lower budget model that came after;
I'm guessing.

Methinks Dean is right.

Here's the first pic of berk special I could find
don't know the length
quick glance at duichirra last listed
leaves me with impression that
berk special has longer grip than DC
& dui chirra has (at least relative to the grip)
slightly longer spine in the 'sword of shiva' section
looks like same selection of tools
