About the Fairbairn–Sykes Fighting Knife
The 2nd Pattern Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife ranks among the most famous British commando daggers of World War II. Designers William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes created the knife specifically for silent close combat. As a result, it quickly became an iconic symbol of British special operations forces such as the British Commandos.
