• Type: Authentic 3rd Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes (F-S) Fighting Knife, the iconic combat dagger of the British Commandos and Special Forces.

  • Hilt: Features the classic concentric ringed grip (3rd Pattern style) made of cast zinc alloy. The pommel is secured with a slotted nut.

  • Blade: Double-edged spear-point steel blade. It shows an honest, dark aged patina with visible pitting and signs of historical use.

  • Guard: Straight crossguard, which appears to have a faint inspector's mark (likely a number or broad arrow stamp) consistent with wartime production.

  • Measurements: Total length is approximately 29.5 cm (11.6 inches), with a blade length of roughly 17.5 cm (7 inches).

  • Condition: In "battle-worn" condition. The blade and handle show significant oxidation and darkening, which is common for knives that saw field service and were not polished post-war.
