Description
Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knifeBeaded and Ribbed or beads and ridges model
In the autumn of 1942, the Rodgers firm also produced what may be the finest of all the wartime Fairbairn-Sykes knives: the Beads and Ridges model or Beaded & Ringed.
It is named so by collectors for its distinctive grip pattern of rings and tiny beads, spaced with sections of rings.
The handle is cast in pure brass. The blades are delicate and uniform, and the weapon, though light, is perfectly balanced.
These knives are considered rare

Nice one, I love how it's blade is so shiny. Mine is all black, but isn't beaded though. Cool!

Do you know if it has a Beaded grip? There are many different versions of the British commando dagger, but from what I have been able to find, the Beaded ones are rare. There's one beaded version even more rare than the one I have here. I don't remember if it has one more or one less band between the rows of beads.
I do know I would not want one of these stuck into me my a commando

I understand that the blades snap off fairly easily.
