Genuine Sheffield England made William Rodgers IXL British Commando Knife.

MOD Knife. Stamped on the hilt William Rodgers.  Please read full description.

We have been waiting for over 2 years for any of these British Commando Knives to arrive with only 4 of these available.

*These blades are still hand finished and if I am being very particular, I would say the Ricasso centre (Triangle bit in centre) at the top of the blade near the hilt looks to be cut and finished slightly off centre to the line running down the centre of the blade, but that is being picky and these are first quality and not seconds. They are designed for one thing only and I doubt the recipient of the blade would worry too much about that but we thought we would just note it.

Grab them quick as no more seem to be available for the forseable future. 

The original Fairbairn Sykes knife was developed during World War II, when Wilkinson Sword collaborated with Capt. William E Fairbairn and Capt. Eric A Sykes to design a knife for the newly formed British Commando Force. Commonly known as the 'Commando Knife', this knife was arguably the most famous knife of the 20th century.
