Awesome knife
Awesome product and built with quality. The edges came sharpened.

Solid Dagger
This appears to be a solidly constructed knife. The edge geometry isn't very good at all. The edge is very thick, almost blunt. It doesn't taper very much until just before it is sharpened. It does have a sharp edge but I don't think it would slice at all (It was a gift and I haven't done any test cutting with it). It has a very sharp point for thrusting or stabbing. This would make a decent display knife but I'm not sure I would trust it with any hard use.

Excellent
A handsome example of the weapon. Sturdy, well finished, gracefully balanced, and contrary to some previous reviews, this is virtually laser sharpened along both edges. I couldn't be more pleased with this very nice Fairbairn reproduction. I doubt you'll find better-made more solid example.

Impressed with the build quality. Thick blade but perfectly balanced, handle heavy, just as specified. Not a dainty knife.

Good value!
Seems to be a pretty good replica of the WW II fairbarin-sykes knife, and at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

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!
