Fairbairn-Sykes Dagger – Hand-Forged Combat Blade | Everest Forge

Inspired by one of the most legendary military blades of the 20th century, the Fairbairn-Sykes Dagger is a combat classic originally developed for British commandos and special forces during World War II. Known for its elegant silhouette and deadly effectiveness in close-quarters combat, this dagger remains iconic in both history and tactical circles.

Forged entirely by hand in Nepal, our version is built from 5160 high carbon steel—sourced from recycled truck leaf springs and water-tempered for maximum resilience. The double-edged blade tapers to a fine point, ideal for precision thrusts and quick response in tactical scenarios. Each blade is meticulously sharpened, polished, and balanced for real-world use or professional-grade display.

The 6-inch rosewood handle is full tang and ergonomically shaped for superior control, paired with a simple guard to protect the hand. Whether you’re a military enthusiast, collector, or modern martial practitioner, this dagger delivers battle-ready performance with historical integrity.
