The Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife is a famous double-edged knife with a foil grip that was developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes before World War II. It gained popularity when it was issued to British Commandos, including the SAS, during the war. Although it is now mainly sought after by collectors, the knife is still being produced today due to its sleek design and association with commandos. The balance of the Fairbairn-Sykes knife is a crucial aspect of its design, requiring careful forging and production to ensure it balances perfectly as intended. The hilt is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, while the blade is not too heavy to cause the hilt to slip from a loose grip. During World War II, Scorpion Knives was one of the original companies manufacturing high-quality Fairbairn-Sykes knives for the allied forces. Today, Scorpion Knives continues to produce these knives primarily for enthusiasts. Each knife is meticulously crafted to guarantee a perfectly balanced Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife that is worthy of being added to your collection. This particular Scorpion Knives Fairbairn-Sykes knife features a polished blade and handle, and it comes with a leather sheath and a high-quality lacquered wood presentation case.
