| 2nd Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife |
The above is the 2nd pattern FS fighting Knife. As with the 1st pattern it has a stilleto blade, but no ricasso. The crossguard is now straight with the grip remaining the same diamond etched pattern. The grip would have been nickel plated. But as can be seen from the above example it has worn off. This knife has seen a lot of use! The scabbard has also been modified. The 2nd pattern was manufactured between august 1941 to the end of 1943.
