IDd—WILKINSON SWORD WW2 2nd Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Fighting Knife/F-S
$0
1 vintage World War II 2nd pattern Wilkinson Sword Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife available. F/S commando knives like these were carried by U.S. G.I.’s and paratroopers, and by British Commandos in Europe during World War II. Some U.S. combat troops staging in England would purchase these knives to carry in addition to, or as replacement for their M3 trench knife. This fighting knife would make a fine addition to any World War II, or world militaria collection.
This Wilkinson knife is ID’d/named to the G.I. that carried it. The blade is etched ‘HUGH R BORRIES‘. Some basic research was done to confirm the G.I.’s enlistment in the Army (see photo 10 above).
This knife measures 11 11/16″ overall. The blade itself measures 6 5/8″. The front tang is etched ‘THE F-S FIGHTING KNIFE‘. The reverse tang is stamped ‘WILKINSON SWORD LONDON‘. There are no markings on the guard.

Frank earned himself a spot in a ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ magazine in the 1930’s. These knives can be used for decades, because of Frank’s superior craftsmanship.
