À propos de ce produit

Product Information

The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger has become iconic as the most widely recognized fighting knife in the world. The origins of the dagger can be traced to Shanghai in the 1930s where W. E. Fairbairn and US Marine officers including Sam Yeaton carried out experiments in developing what they considered the perfect knife for close combat. When Fairbairn and Sykes became instructors for the Commandos, they refined the design which would evolve into the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger. The dagger was first used during early Commando raids into occupied Europe but saw action in every theatre of World War II (1939-1945). US Rangers and Marines who had trained with the Commandos took their Fairbairn-Sykes daggers home which also influenced the development of American Special Forces daggers. The Fairbairn-Sykes remained in use with many units after the war, and has become a symbol of commando and special forces units throughout the world.

Reviews
"Thompson painstakingly describes the differences in detail of each Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger variant, whether of those of direct lineage or those influenced by the design. Many photographs, whether from the WW2-era or modern close-ups of items in various collections, give good visual to the author's descriptions." - C.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Great book for historical background and version information on this dagger

    I wanted to learn more about the classic Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger - from the initial design of the knife, background on the designers, who (which soldiers) used it, the different versions, etc. This book answered many of those questions. There was a lot of information on the various versions made throughout the years and information on knock-off as well with many photos and other illustrations to demonstrate the points being made in the text. As the old saying goes - a picture is worth a thousand words...and there are many wonderful pictures in this book. The one area that isn't explored in great depth is how the knife is used. Aside from that, it's a very thorough book about the history of this great knife.

  • An interesting history book

    Fairbairn & Sykes have impressive biographies. Beside developing this weapon they're instrumental in the origins of both modern SWAT teams and military special forces.
