Privateer Armoury Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 As far as I know naval Dirks (as we know them) were just starting to catch on during the american Revolution. Daggers are just slightly newer than dirt. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

Hawkyns Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 How are you defining the difference? Hawkyns Master Gunner Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
