3rd Pattern Fairbairn Sykes Fighting Knife |
This is a third pattern Fairbairn Sykes Fighting knife. This knife differs radically from the first and second pattern. The brass and nickle plated checkered grip is now replaced with a grip consisting of a concentric ring design. The third pattern was issued in black as standard, so as not to reflect the light.

Third patterns can be marked on the hilt as above. This one is marked 3 and refers just to the cast number & manufacturer.
