Frequently Asked Questions

When was the second pattern introduced?

The Second Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife was introduced in August 1941, replacing the First Pattern after its relatively short production run.

A useful chronology is:

November 1940: First Pattern introduced.
August 1941: Second Pattern introduced, initially retaining a bright blade.
September 1942: blackened/darkened Second Pattern knives begin appearing, intended to reduce reflection during night operations.
October 1942: a major British government order for approximately 38,000 knives was placed.
September 1943: Third Pattern introduced, with the distinctive ribbed cast grip.

How old is this Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife?

This is a Second Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife, a pattern introduced in 1941. However, the blackened blade finish seen on this example was introduced around September 1942 to reduce reflection and improve concealment during night operations.

The Third Pattern was introduced in September 1943, so the features of this example suggest a likely production date of late 1942 to 1943.
