<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;dirk&#039;&#039;&#039; is a very short [[sword]] mounted on a [[dagger]] hilt. As it is a small blade, the dirk was more often than not used as a backup weapon. <br /> <br /> The dirk was not often used in the books; the only six creatures known to wield a dirk are [[Tamello De Fformelo Tussock|Tammo De Fformelo Tussock]], [[Skipper (The Long Patrol)|Skipper]] (who borrowed it from Tammo), [[Rakkety Tam MacBurl]], [[Wild Doogy Plumm]], [[Viglat]], and [[Dirgo]]. <br /> <br /> It is pertinent to note that Tammo&#039;s blue dirk was inherited by him from his mother, [[Mem Divinia]], as well as a shoulder belt with a combination buckle and slotted dirk-sheath made in the symbol of a running hare. This particular dirk was forged in [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]], and was considered to be a special weapon.<br /> <br /> Wild Doogy Plumm&#039;s dirk was his grandfather&#039;s and father&#039;s before it was passed down to him; it was temporarily stolen by [[Yoofus Lightpaw]], but the vole later returned it. <br /> <br /> Dirgo and Viglat both wielded old and/or rusty dirks, not being as tidy and conscientious as the goodbeasts who carried similar weapons. [[Razzid Wearat]], Dirgo&#039;s captain, had a low opinion of the small blade&#039;s usefulness and gave his follower a spear instead.<br /> <br /> ===Books===<br /> Dirks appear in &#039;&#039;[[The Long Patrol]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Rakkety Tam]]&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;[[The Rogue Crew]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> [[Category:Weapons]]<br /> [[Category:Swords]]</div>
