The Scottish dirk evolved in the 16th and 17th centuries from the late medieval kidney dagger. For the Scottish Highlanders, it held deep symbolic significance as a personal sidearm and an integral part of their traditional equipment. It was considered a symbol of the wearer's honor and status and is still worn today as a ceremonial accessory with Highland dress.
What historical care instructions should be followed for the carbon steel blade of this replica Scottish Dirk to protect it from corrosion in the long term?

To protect the carbon steel blade from long-term corrosion, it should be regularly coated with a thin layer of acid-free care oil (such as Ballistol or clove oil). It is also important to clean the blade of fingerprints after each use, as perspiration can corrode the steel, and to store the weapon in a dry place, outside of its leather sheath, to prevent moisture buildup.
What materials were used for the blade and scabbard fittings on this replica of a Scottish dirk?

The blade of this replica is made of 1055 carbon steel. The scabbard fittings, such as the throat and chape, are made of blued steel.
