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™.

Has a few light scratches on the blade and guard, excellent condition. Includes original sheath.
