New Ek Knife

Here is the third knife in the new Ek Historical series. This is Ek Knives interpretation of an improved Fairbairn Sykes. The two fighting knives were contemporaneous and many soldiers preferred the plain Jane ruggedness of the Ek over the elegance of the Fairbairn. Bear in mind this specific model was not available though during WW-II.

The hard maple slab handles are held on by cast-in-place lead rivets, the old fashioned way. The full tang is shaped to resemble the FS even to the outline of a top nut. Typical of Ek Knives the blade is very sharp on both edges. It is nicely etched with the company name and my serial number, 007. A solidly made heavy leather sheath , a replica of the WW-II originals accompanies each knife. There are very few historical knives with the quality and battle-proven lineage of an Ek Knife. This is another fine offering from the folks in Richmond, VA. http://www.ekknife.com/
