Commando Dagger

The quintessential killing knife. Designed for use by the British Commandos in WW-II. Here is a photo or two of a superb reproduction British Commando knife made by my good friends Peter Parkinson and Brent Sandow of Auckland NZ. Unlike any original first pattern F~S knife, this one has a beautiful damascus blade and guard. The guard is also unique in that it has thumb reliefs ground in the guard (by my request) for proper hand placement in the dark.

The handle is a knurled bronze that has developed a wonderful patina over the last few years. This is a fully functional combat-ready knife with a traditional sheath. It will never be mistaken for an original WW-II knife, but in many ways it is superior to some of the late war knives that were produced. There is a unique beauty to any first or second pattern Fairbairn Sykes knife that is due in part to its pure form and symmetry, surely the ultimate example of form following function. I hope you enjoy this pristine replica of one of the world's most renowned fighting knives.
