Read Reviews | Write a ReviewThis Knife (especially for it's low price) is not just correctly designed and built, it's created by a craftsman who understands it's singular purpose. It's a dagger. I have a serious knife collection but wanted to replace two stolen units. This one is replacing both of them.
A true military dagger is made to pierce the skin, slide between the ribs, and pierce the heart, etc.
If the sides are sharp they can get stuck on the rib bones and defeat their purpose.
The tip is sharp, the blade is made of very high quality metal, and the width is the best possible size for it's purpose, and thickness is enough to maintain maximum strength.
I'm not suggesting people run around using this knife improperly, exactly the opposite.
If you are in the military, and want to be properly prepared, you'd be foolish to go into battle without one.
Take what they give you but bring one of these with you.

The Fairbairn Sykes British commando knife is a double-edged knife with a cast metal grip developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes before World War II. It was made famous during the War when issued to British Commandos, including the SAS. Although the Fairbairn-Sykes knife is now of interest mainly to collectors, because of its sleek lines and its commando associations it still remains in production today.
This knife was designed exclusively for surprise attack and fighting. The slender blade can easily penetrate a ribcage and the vase handle grants precise grip. The double-edged blade is integral to its design.
The balance of a Fairbairn-Sykes is a crucial part of the design and it takes careful forging and production to ensure that the knife balances exactly as designed. The hilt should fit easily in the hand and the blade should not be so heavy that it tends to drag the hilt from the fingers in a loose grip. The knives come in a leather sheath with a metal tip so it can be easily stowed in a boot or attached to a belt.
Measures 11 5/8" overall. Features a 7" parkerized double edge carbon steel blade. Black finish knurled metal alloy handle and guard. Metal tipped leather boot/belt sheath.

I was looking for a classic dagger for my collection and this one is a perfect example.
Just received this today and it is fantastic. The knife is beautiful and the sheath is of a very heavy good looking leather.
The knife arrived fast. The condition of the knife was what I expected for the price. Solidly built. It will open mail as well. Nice piece of history.

Thanks for promptly sending out the knife. The knife is excellent and the stag handles are better than I had hoped. I am extremely pleased with the knife. Thanks for having that last one in stock. This will be my EDC knife now.
