Fairbairn Sykes Wilkinson Sword "Nickelled"

Nickel-plated Second Pattern “Type I” Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, featuring a hand-sharpened blade.

Blade stamped Wilkinson Sword London and The F-S Fighting Knife size 6.26" blade.

Leather scabbard with elastic present and not broken.

Leather sheath with its "wings".

This Second Pattern “Type I” example dates from the earliest production runs introduced in 1941.

It retains the particularly refined finish inherited from the First Pattern, including a polished blade, fully nickel-plated hilt and etched markings on both sides of the blade.

It is accompanied by its original leather scabbard with rounded nickel-plated chape.

With its exceptional quality of manufacture, elegance and finely executed finish, this RARE model represents, in our opinion, one of the finest versions of the celebrated Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.
