Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife
The Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife is a stiletto-style dagger developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes during World War II with a foil-like handle and a keen, double-edged blade. Modeled on contemporary Shanghai street daggers, it was primarily intended for use by British troops, particularly Commando forces.
