Overview
Fairbairn-Sykes MkII™. The Fairbairn-Sykes is probably the most-revered military fighting knife of all time, made famous in World War II by the British Commandos, the U.S. Army Rangers, the SAS, SOE and Allied combat troops in all theaters of operations.Now for the first time since 1941 comes the updated, improved, American version, the F-S Mk II™. The full-tang design, rugged blade and forward-curving solid brass crossguard overcome the weaknesses of the original, but the double-edge and the curvaceous Micarta grips are unmistakably F-S all the way. With its F-S and Ek heritage, the F-S MkII™ is an immediate classic. This is the Official Knife of the U.S. Army Ranger Association.
The Ek F-S MkII is now part of the official symbol of the U.S. Army Ranger Association. USARA President Linc German says, "Ek Commando Knife Co. is following in the footsteps of John Ek -- John's war fighting knives were in select Soldiers' hands during WWII and are equal to the also-renowned W.D. "Bo" Randall made knives." The tradition continues...
Has a few light scratches on the blade and guard, excellent condition. Includes original sheath.
