Fairbairn–Sykes commando knife - nickelplated handle

The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife is an iconic combat knife used by British Special Forces during World War II. It was designed by two British officers, William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes, to meet the needs of commandos.

The knife is characterized by its slim and sharp blade, which offers a high penetrating power. It has a typical dagger shape with a length of about 17 cm. The design of the handle allows for safe and precise handling, which is of great importance in close combat situations.

It is important to note that the Fairbairn-Sykes knife was designed primarily for military use and is not intended for everyday use. It's a tool designed specifically for combat, so it's not suited to everyday tasks like slicing or peeling.

The Fairbairn-Sykes knife has a rich history and remains popular with collectors and those interested in the military. It symbolizes the determination and courage of the British special forces during the Second World War.

The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife from WKC is made from original Wilkinson Sword parts acquired when the Wilkinson Sword factory in London closed in 2005.
