Hi Tac, It's obivious we were on the wrong thread... Another one of those things I didn't know!

Can you enlighten me on the Sykes Fairbairn knives? As in: quality, are the recent ones as good as the originals, cost in the UK? etc. Perhaps it's not your cup of tea, but i thought it wouldn't hurt to ask? Best to you Tac...til...lat'r...GT

Hi Tac, yes, I think the same... most are un-marked, so it's hard to tell.. I'm going to acquire some in the future.. I'm either going to collect ones with the knurled handle, or ones with the thick crossguard... I'm not sold on the new versions, either issue or not... Thanks Tac, best to you, til....lat'r...GT
