William Rodgers Fairbairn-Sykes Kommandodolch

Close menu

1940 designed by W. E. Fairbairn and E. A. Sykes for the British Commandos, this knife quickly became a legend. But also many other units of the Allied forces used the dagger, already during the war it became the standard equipment of soldiers all over the world and is still used today. It is produced by William Rodgers, Sheffield, the official supplier of the NATO countries. The blade is made of high-strength carbon steel and chemically blackened. Includes a premium leather sheath.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.

Reviews for "Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife"

From: G. On: 28 May 2020

Terrific Dagger

Great modern version of a Fairbairn Sykes 3rd pattern dagger. The knife is made in England with a pretty good fit and finish, although non perfect (to give an idea, a little better than KaBar or Ontario knives). These details doesn't matter that much anyway, considering a Macdonald Armouries or a Joseph Rodgers costs thrice for the same toughness but a better finish when you look at it under a magnifier. If you want a good tool, it is a 100% legit user blade, not a substandard reproduction. Fantastic ergonomics, balance and shape. Great carbon steel, not too sharp out of the box, yet so easy to take a razor edge in a few minutes. Solid point, tight construction, no rattle from any parts. Surprizingly thick paint on the handle, will last. The sheath is like an original with an elastic band instead of a snap fastener: OK for what it is, crappy on nowadays standards ; should be carried in a better leather sheath or a custom kydex. In the end, an excellent dagger. This William Rodgers is probably one of the best current F-S knives.
