The Fairbairn Sykes MoD Commando Dagger - 180BMoD
Official Issue - $125.00
The William Rodgers FS sterile (unmarked) all black ‘Official’ Ministry of Defence (MoD) dagger is the only Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife in the world that is supplied under Government contract to the British Ministry of Defence and is listed as an inventory item with the NATO Procurement Division in Luxembourg. MoD specifications state that no issue FS knife shall be stamped with any identification marks. This is confirmed in the manufacturer’s official ‘Letter of Authenticity’ which is supplied with this knife. Amongst other things, it provides the official MoD specs number E/1323E and the NATO stock No. 1095 99 963 2037. For those who appreciate authenticity, this is a real bonus.
The Fairbairn Sykes during WW2 became a legend and now, 67 years later, the legend lives on.
