The Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife was developed during World War II and became closely associated with British Commandos, airborne troops, special operations personnel, and other elite units. Its design emphasized speed, concealability, and close-quarters effectiveness.
The knife was named for William E. Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes, who helped develop methods of close combat and silent fighting. With its narrow double-edged blade, compact size, and quick handling, the Fairbairn-Sykes became one of the most iconic military fighting knives of the 20th century.
