My take on a Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife. there are a few imperfections like the wiggle that it picked up during heat treat but I am pretty proud of it considering it is only the third knife I have ever made. Thanks for looking! reddit.com/gallery/rzeohm

Tool and process recommendation for a Fairbairnโ€“Sykes fighting knife?

I have an old British Commando knife, Fairbairnโ€“Sykes fighting knife, made in the 1960's (by Sheffield I believe). The patina was murdered before it was mine, so I've gone through and straightened, polished, and sharpened all the things. I spent an hour on a fine stone with cutting oil at the end of its spa day with me and its symmetrical and sharp enough to slice paper...but its not *sharp*.

I have another Fairbairnโ€“Sykes (Sheffield) that is more modern, blacked out blade, that is mechanically new with the factory edge and its about as sharp as the older one is now...the old one was butter-knife dull when I started working on it.

Should I just be happy with it, or is there a tool or method or something specific to this blade shape that I am missing?

What are the two leather tabs on the side of the scabbard of the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife used for? They have small perforations, like they were meant to be sewn onto something.

Genuine fairbairn sykes fighting knife. Unfortunately it isnt the wide blade version that balances perfectly but i got it at a good price. Going from the markings its around 1942 made. The sheath as stitch marks on the tabs so this was probably sown into someones boot. Also the tang is broken so it

TIL nearly 60 y.o. combat instructors Bill Sykes and Dan Fairbairn would introduce themselves to spy trainees during WWII by descending a staircase into a ballroom. They would pretend to fall and roll down the stairs, but pop up at the bottom with a pistol in one hand and knife in the other. bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopโ€ฆ

Fairbairn-Sykes knife (original/reissue/copy)

Hey all,

Iโ€™m looking for a Fairbairn-Sykes knife. I believe they were originally issued to British commandos in WWII and were highly used and effective to a point (see what I did there). Iโ€™m a military history buff and Iโ€™ve recently become an admirer of knives of all kinds and those who make their own (absolutely lovely workmanship from posts Iโ€™ve seen here btw!).

Iโ€™ve tried looking online and havenโ€™t found much beyond articles on the history behind it.

Does anyone know where I can pick one up?

Any ideaโ€™s about what this knife is? Itโ€™s a family heirloom and we think it is ww1 or ww2 era. Itโ€™s got a lot of similarities to the Fairbairn Sykes Knife but I canโ€™t seem to find one thatโ€™s quite like it.
