Sykes Fairbairn US Army Double-Edged V42 Military Best Dagger Knife WWII Collectible knives With Leather Sheath (Black Steel)

Because it is so light and maneuverable it would be a good fighting knife. Probably not good for nothing else. Deadly.

Excellent quality and very sharp

Great quality! Loose hand guard easily fixable with a drop of guerilla glue.

The knife that I have received has a blade that bends toward one of the sharp edges due to poor quality control. But even if it was straight, it still would have felt cheap. The balance point is at the cross guard. (I was hoping it would be in the handle, true to the original Fairbairn design.) On the plus side, the handle provides good grip, which so many daggers lack.UPDATE: Received a replacement knife. The second knife has similar issues. The blade is bent towards one of the cutting edges. The balance point is even further away from the handle. The corner between the cross guard and the blade was not painted fully, instead it has a pattern of the paint droplets. I've seen better knives for $10.

Arrived on-time as promised and is a great copy of the original. Belongs with you Vietnam memorabilia in a well deserved display case.

Very light weight and super cheaply made. That said it will work as a template pattern for me.

I received this version in today. I am mightily impressed with the knife and it's heft. I like that handle as well. sharp enough for a new knife. The sheath was a bit unimpressed... the blade part is ok enough I suppose.. but the belt loop is flimsy and more as likely won't last long. I'd still recommend this as most knifes have a belt loop issue of some kind.

Nice cool 😎
