The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife is a classic and iconic edged implement with a long-standing historical heritage. It originated during World War II and was developed by British officers William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes, both of whom had extensive experience in tactical training and equipment design. Key features of the Fairbairn-Sykes design include a double-edged blade measuring 7 inches (175 mm) in length, with a slim, symmetrical profile optimized for precision and control. The handle is slender and features the distinctive “commando” pattern, with a cylindrical form and ribbed grip to enhance handling and ergonomics. The overall design emphasizes a careful balance of weight, strength, and maneuverability. The Fairbairn-Sykes design became widely recognized during World War II and was adopted by British Special Forces, including the SAS (Special Air Service) and other elite units. Its influence extended to many later military-pattern edged tools and it has become a lasting symbol of elite unit heritage and specialist training traditions. The Patrol Edition is twin-ground from RWL-34 stainless steel, hardened to 60 Rockwell. It is finished in black Cerakote, fitted with a black linen micarta handle, and complemented by Cerakote-coated stainless-steel fittings at the guard and pommel. It is supplied with a handmade leather sheath.

Shipping and delivery

Where do you ship?
UK, EU + Switzerland, Canada, the US — and elsewhere on request. Everything goes signed-for via DHL from the workshop in Petworth. See full rates.
How long does delivery take?
UK: next working day after dispatch. EU: 3–5 working days. US / Canada: 5–7 working days. Customs clearance can add a day or two on longer routes; tracking lands in your inbox the moment the parcel scans into DHL.
Will I owe duty or tax on arrival?
For US destinations we collect a flat 13% tariff at checkout so the parcel arrives with nothing further to pay. For other destinations, import VAT and duty (where applicable) are paid on receipt and vary by country — please check your local rules before ordering.
Can it be delivered to a workplace or third-party address?
Yes, but the recipient must be 18 or over and present to sign. UK age-verification on delivery isn't a formality — DHL won't release the parcel without it.
