Fox Fairbairn-Sykes – A Legendary Combat Knife, Reinvented for the Modern Age
The Fox Fairbairn-Sykes is a tribute to the legendary combat knife designed during World War II by British officers Fairbairn and Sykes. This modern interpretation, designed by Dutch company Hill Knives and manufactured with extreme precision in Maniago, Italy, is a fusion of military history, Dutch design, and Italian craftsmanship.
This knife is a paragon of thoughtful design and high-quality materials. The 17 cm long single-edged spear point blade is made of Böhler N690Co steel, a stainless chrome steel known for its exceptional balance of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness. These properties ensure excellent performance in demanding applications. With a hardness of 59 HRC, the knife retains its sharpness well and is resistant to the elements.
The blade also features a durable black PVD coating. This coating not only provides extra wear resistance, but also gives the knife a sleek, tactical, and modern look. The handle is made of black anodized T6-6082 aluminum. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the knife offers a firm grip in both forward and backward positions, and the integrated hand guard increases safety during use. The use of aluminum keeps the weight low (only 220 grams) without compromising durability.
The knife comes with a high-quality leather sheath, which provides a safe and stylish way to carry the knife. The sheath can be easily attached to a belt or carried via a cord.
