Very nice fighting knife
I love this commando dagger.  Very well made and great balance.  The edge is ok but on this type of knife the user is the one who puts their signature edge on it.  I broke out the honing stone and went to work and now I have a great fighting edge on it.

FSCK happy
I am pretty much satisfied with the knife. The one drawback, as I see it, is that it did not have a 'real' edge on the blade. It is going to take some real work to put an edge on it but I can do that.

Sturdy Balanced Knife
Knife came within two days of ordering. I appreciate the finish, weight and balance of the knife. As pictured, and a well made piece.
- David, December 28, 2018 | Verified Purchase
Had higher hopes
The blade isn’t properly aligned and trails off to one side. It ships dull and will require a lot of effort to sharpen properly. Mine was definitely handle heavy in terms of balance, not blade heavy as others have mentioned.

Excellent Fairbairn - Sykes Commando Knife
Excellent quality knife! Shipping was prompt. Packaging was secure and professional.  This knife was purchased as a Christmas gift to one of my best friends.

Well made, but needs to be sharped better
I bought it as a useful novelty and with some research this seemed to be the best Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife made. I’m not disappointed by the build quality because it’s very well made for being non USA made. (It is made in India) I was disappointed that the dagger didn’t come ready to use sharp like most knives do, even replicas. So, do I recommend over the current British made, yes. Do I recommend if you don’t have the means to put a sharp edge on it, no.

It will kill!
I am going to strip the blade and gaurd to make this look fancier
- Robert, February 06, 2017 | Verified Purchase
This is the best balanced dagger I have held.   It is solid and comfortable in the hand.

Years ago, I had bought a modern iteration of a Fairbairn Sykes.  There is simply no comparison.  Magnificent blade!
- Alan, September 01, 2016 | Verified Purchase
I have one made by the current British military contractor, and this one is better.  Finish/bluing is just beautiful. Very solid, strong construction. One of Windlass' best.
- Stephen, January 21, 2016 | Verified Purchase
The entire knife is made out of steel. I took the nut off the back and took it apart. A magnet I have would gling to all four pieces of the knife. There is a very hard coating of something on the handle to keep it from rusting. This knife has a very real feel to it unlike other commando knives. And unlike other commando knives the tang is squared off instead of entering the hilt diamond shaped. This gives the knife the added strength a fighting knife should have. The only problem I had is that the two edges weren't sharpened to a point. Very dull. I received this item in very good shape. No rust.
- Drew, December 05, 2015 | Verified Purchase
Better than a Sheffield dagger purchased 10+ years ago. The ACC/Windlass blade is slightly thicker and symmetric as opposed to the Sheffield one purchased. The leather sheath is also better made.  The dimensions are true as noted in the description by ACC.
