Description
A superb modern reproduction of the iconic First Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger, handmade in New Zealand by respected maker Peter Parkinson.
This “First Pair” example faithfully reflects the distinctive early-war First Pattern FS design, featuring the correct S-shaped crossguard, flattened oval grip, and slender double-edged stiletto blade intended for thrusting. Parkinson’s work is well regarded among collectors for its attention to historical accuracy, quality materials, and precision finish — placing these pieces well above typical mass-produced replicas.
Produced in limited numbers, these New Zealand-made reproductions offer collectors the opportunity to own an exceptionally well executed interpretation of one of the most recognisable military fighting knives of the Second World War, without the cost of an original wartime example.
Ideal for collectors of Commando weapons, modern custom military reproductions, or Commonwealth-made edged weapons.
