British Commando Knife
The British Commando Knife is a reproduction of the iconic Fairbairn-Sykes fighting dagger, the close-combat blade carried by British Commandos, SAS operators, and Airborne troops throughout World War II. It features a slender double-edged blade with a needle-sharp thrusting point, a ringed metal grip for positive handling, a steel crossguard, and a weighted pommel for balance. The knife ships with a fitted leather belt sheath ready for hip or boot carry. A solid pick for collectors of WWII militaria, fans of British special forces history, and anyone who appreciates a purpose-built fighting dagger.

Legendary blade, superb build qualityThere are very few knives in the world with the kind of combat history and legendary status that the Fairbairn Sykes has earned. Holding this knife in your hand knowing that this same design has been carried by British commandos SAS operators and Royal Marines for over eighty years is an incredible feeling. The blade came sharp and the blued finish gives it a classic look that photographs beautifully. I have it displayed alongside my other military collectibles and it is always the piece that visitors ask about first.

Gets the job doneI have owned a British Commando knife for a long time and its a great knife. It is so sharp and reliable that one time I drove the tip through a dime. It is a true defensive/offensive knife, not a camping or hunting knife. A long time ago it saved my life and it has a place of honor with me ever since. Its a true fighting knife and not a toy. Enough said.

Excellent KnifeI have had my eyes open for a knife like this, ever since I saw one from WW2 that my father had in his collection. This knife doesn't seem to the same materials as the original MK1 or MK2, but this is still a great knife. This is a great piece for anyone who loves knives and if it was ever pressed into service, I have no doubts that it would do exactly what it was designed to do. Great Price and pretty solid materials!

Good value.I got Nowill manufactured knives. These are actual MOD issue right now to Royal Marines. When compared to the mkI an mkII knives, these mkIII knives are very cheaply built but are made to present day MOD specs. They are still a fine weapon, just not overbuilt (?) like the original marks. These knives can, and should, be disassembled after a mission to be cleaned and lubed as there are many places for water to settle. These are carbon steel and will rust. These were never meant to be field craft knives and would not stand up to field use. They are meant for one function only and are superbly suited to that purpose. Thanks for making them available.
