**RARE**WW2 Era Nickel Plated All Steel Hilt Variant Fairbairn Sykes FS Commando Fighting Knife & Scabbard. Sn 21845 - 21845
Like many variants of the FS knife there are various theories as to the origins of the all steel FS knives. Generally put about is that they were dropped into Europe for use by the resistance. There is also anecdotal evidence indicating use by Home guard. At least one of these knives was recovered in the wreck of a Sherman tank which sank off the coast of Normandy during the D-Day invasion (see pages 131 to 133 of ‘The Fairbairn Sykes Fighting Knife & Other Commando Knives’ by Flook). An all steel plated variant hilt FS knife with 5 knurled grip rings and narrow grip near to the pommel similar to ours is illustrated on page 133 item 9.21 of the authors book. He comments on the illustrated knife, that the plating was probably done post war for presentation or private sale purposes. The author also comments on page 131 “whether or not they were made against an official contract is unknown and no example that I am aware of has been found with an inspection mark. Genuine examples of such knives are scarce”. This is a rare, original all steel hilt nickel plated variant FS knife and scabbard in as found, un-cleaned condition. It’s all steel hilt has the aforementioned 5 knurled grip rings and plated oval steel finger guard. The original nickel plate finish has some age related areas of tarnishing. There are no maker or date marks on the knife. The knife has a 173 mm long blade with medial ridge. Its open top leather scabbard in which it was found has an integral belt loop.

*Handmade/Un-Used* U.S. Made Steve Voorhis Bowie Knife and Leather Sheath. 22493. - 22493
Steve Voorhis Handmade knives from his hometown of Inman, Kansas in the U.S.A. The early history of the Bowie knife is complicated by murky definitions, limited supporting documentation, and conflicting claims. The Bowie knife is not well defined. By the mid-20th century most included some combination of blade length and blade shape. In the mid-19th century, when the popularity of the knife was at its peak, the term was applied to a wide range of blades. Absent a consensus definition, it is impossible to clearly define the origin of the knife. To complicate matters, some American blades that meet the modern definition of the Bowie knife may pre-date Bowie. This beautiful example is 37cm in length with a 24 cm polished blade. The brass-coloured pommel and finger guard envelope the light wooden one-piece grip. A very thick, soft brown leather sheath with integrated belt loop accompanies the knife. Both the knife and sheath are in as new un-used condition and are real quality items. The price includes UK delivery. 22493.
