NEW GENUINE THIRD PATTERN BLACK COMMANDO KNIFE SHEFFIELD FAIRBAIRN SYKES J NOWILL AND SONS

This Knife (especially for it's low price) is not just correctly designed and built, it's created by a craftsman who understands it's singular purpose. It's a dagger. I have a serious knife collection but wanted to replace two stolen units. This one is replacing both of them. A true military dagger is made to pierce the skin, slide between the ribs, and pierce the heart, etc. If the sides are sharp they can get stuck on the rib bones and defeat their purpose. The tip is sharp, the blade is made of very high quality metal, and the width is the best possible size for it's purpose, and thickness is enough to maintain maximum strength. I'm not suggesting people run around using this knife improperly, exactly the opposite. If you are in the military, and want to be properly prepared, you'd be foolish to go into battle without one. Take what they give you but bring one of these with you. You won't find a better knife for this, anywhere. I know, I looked. I understand knives, it's a personal thing, and I know quality. You can't buy this for less, period. I'm ex-military (if there actually is such a thing; once you are, you are), I know how to use them and this unit is strong, powerful in the right hands.

I ordered this primarily for home defense and couldn’t be more satisfied with this knife. Well crafted, sturdy, exactly as described, and well sharpened on all edges down to the hilt. Packaging and shipping were superb, even the package would make a substantial deterrent. Highly recommended and even a business card from Sheffield Cutlery Director Lee Idell, nice touch IMO.

Well made. Proper markings.

I have wanted this knife for a long time and finally bought one. What a great knife. Feels great in hand, good metal, well made. Well worth the money. In fact, I'm so impressed I will purchase a second when available. Note for maker: can you make this knife with a longer blade?

Knife is just as promised. We'll balanced grip is smaller than I expected, but correct for the Knife. Well made. I will probably buy from this seller again

I ordered this as a Father’s Day gift for my husband, since it’s something he’s been wanting for a while now. It turned out to be even better than I imagined and arrived earlier than expected too. He was so happy when he opened it . Was nicely packed and arrived safe which we had hoped . He was blown away with the quality and said it was even better than he thought it would be .

I joined an Army unit in 1973 where these were considered necessary. I have wanted one ever since. I love it! It is the WWII commando dagger from Sheffield, England. For anyone wanting to buy this, it does not work very well as a knife.

I absolutely love this dagger. It has a nice feel to it, and it looks amazing. I've wanted one of these for a long time and I was a little leery of them because of the low price. Figured it to be a cheezy POS, but boy was I wrong. If you collect knives, then this is a must have. Pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed. P.S. the edge isn't supposed to be sharp, it's for stabbing, not cutting.
