This second pattern Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife was made by the Wilkinson Sword Company, London, during World War Two.
The 166mm double-edged blade has a raised medial ridge and tapers to a narrow spear point. The blade is 22mm wide at its base, which shows the typical triangular grind marks. There are some small spots of tarnish, mainly on one side of the blade, and faint scratches consistent with sharpening/cleaning.
The knurled grip is in good condition with use related wear. The grip is 21mm in diameter at its widest and is 125mm long. The crosspiece is 3.3mm thick and is stamped with the War Department arrow and the designation “B2,” indicating that it was made by the Wilkinson Sword Company.
The knife is complete with a black leather sheath. The sheath is appropriate for the FS knife, but is not the original sheath that the knife would have had. The stitching is intact and tight and the leather, while worn, remains strong. The knife sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good example of a WW2 made and used second pattern Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife.
