The knife that makes every collector's heart beat faster.
This iconic dagger knife from World War II British commandos re-released by Fox knives. This knife has a walnut wood handle.
The Fox Fairbairn-Sykes is a modern interpretation of the legendary Fairbairn-Sykes combat knife. The original design originated during World War II and was developed by British officers William E. Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes. With their experience in short-range combat, they created a knife that became known worldwide as the weapon of choice for special forces.
Fox Knives' version is designed by Dutch company Hill Knives and, as we have come to expect from Fox, is manufactured with extreme precision in Maniago, Italy. The double-sided sharpened spear point blade is made of Böhler N690Co a high-quality stainless martensitic chrome steel. This steel is known for its balanced composition of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and cobalt. The result is an exceptional combination of Wear Resistance, Corrosion Resistance and Toughness. Features that ensure excellent performance in demanding applications.
In addition, the blade features a beautiful satin finish, this gives the blade a subtle matte sheen created by polishing in one direction with fine sandpaper. The result is a surface that looks refined and stylish. In addition to aesthetic benefit, a satin finish also helps make minor scratches and signs of use less visible. This keeps the knife looking great for longer, even with heavy use. The handle is made of walnut wood.
Thanks to its ergonomic design, the knife offers a firm grip in both forward and backward positions. The use of walnut keeps the weight down without compromising on durability. An integrated hand guard increases safety and makes the knife comfortable to use.
The included leather sheath provides a safe and stylish way to carry the knife. It can be easily attached to the belt or carried via a lanyard. The Fox Fairbairn-Sykes is not only a functional knife, but more importantly a tribute to one of the most iconic military designs of the 20th century. It combines Italian craftsmanship with Dutch design, making it an indispensable collector's item for lovers of military history and connoisseurs of high-quality knives.
