About this product
Product Information
The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger has become iconic as the most widely recognized fighting knife in the world. The origins of the dagger can be traced to Shanghai in the 1930s where W. E. Fairbairn and US Marine officers including Sam Yeaton carried out experiments to develop what they considered the perfect knife for close combat. When Fairbairn and Sykes became instructors for the Commandos, they refined the design which would evolve into the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger. The dagger was first used during early Commando raids into occupied Europe but saw action in every theatre of World War II. US Rangers and Marines who had trained with the Commandos took their Fairbairn-Sykes daggers home, and this also influenced the development of American Special Forces daggers. The Fairbairn-Sykes remained in use with many units after the war. It has become a symbol of Commando and special forces units throughout the world.

Publication date was NOT 1994, as listed in add. Was a reprint, assuming it is not outright counterfeit, in 2010! Listing says made in Stamford, CT, USA, yet box arrives saying “Made in Italy.” I was looking, and I thought purchasing, a copy of my deck made in 1994. Comparing the two decks side by side, the colouring on this deck is not the same!! I also thought from the pictures that I would be receiving the box set. Anyway, the next step will be to determine if these are actually even real.
