Description
The Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger stands as a symbol of military craftsmanship, designed specifically for close-quarters combat. With an overall length of 11 inches, its 7-inch blade is forged from EN45 steel, a material prized for its toughness and ability to hold a keen edge. The blade’s 4mm thickness tapers to a finely sharpened edge between 1.00 and 1.5mm, allowing for effective thrusting and slicing with precision and confidence.
The handle is crafted from solid brass, shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, providing a firm grip essential for quick, controlled movements in the heat of battle. The blade’s black oxidized finish not only reduces glare but also offers a subdued appearance suited for stealth operations. Accompanying the dagger is a brown leather scabbard, fitted with a belt hanger for easy carry and quick access.
