3rd Pattern Fairbairn Sykes, WW2, Commando Dagger

WW2 British 3rd Pattern Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife with cross keys embossed below cross guard, star and ‘D’ Stamp to grip representing the maker J. Nowill & Sons, Sheffield with non original leather scabbard.

The Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes in Shanghai before World War II, resembles a dagger with a foil grip. It gained fame during WWII when issued to British Commandos, the Airborne Forces, and the SAS, notably for the Normandy landings in 1944. The knife’s acutely tapered, pointed blade is often likened to a stiletto, optimized for thrusting but capable of slash cuts when sharpened as per specifications.

*Condition*
The blade is in very good condition with a few minor nicks. None of the original blueing remains. the scabbard is not original but in good condition. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
