Fairbairn Sykes

I have a fairbairn sykes knife anyone know anything about it ?

In 1940, Capt. William Ewart Fairbairn and Capt. Eric Anthony Sykes collaborated with Wilkinson Sword in the design of the world famous FS Fighting Knife. The first production run was referred to as the “First Pattern” or MK1. The “Second Pattern” or MK2 was made with modifications to speed up production and did not include the “S” cross guard found in first pattern units. In 1943, the “Third Pattern” or MK3 was put into production and is seen today in the turned metal grip and black finish.

They’re nice knives – not sure of their worth though
