Boker Solingen Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting Dagger Knife 440C 11" & Kydex Sheath

Description: Unused, super nice knife. No original box. Fast free shipping. When the retired Colonel Rex Applegate handedBokerthe prints and design notes for the famous combat knife bearing his name and that of his partner, British Captain W.E. Fairbairn,Bokervowed to stay true to the genius of the original mode, stringently following the original design specifications, with allowances only for the latest in modern materials. The result is the perfect fusion of form and function: The Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting knife fromBoker. Its history is compelling: During WWII, commando instructors Applegate and Fairbairn were both assigned to the OSS, the Office of Strategic Services, where they collaborated to improve the Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife, designed for serious hand to hand combat.Boker's reissue of the Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting knife uses the fiberglass-reinforced Delrin handle, thickened in the center for a sure grip. A lanyard hole adds convenience. The handle meets a short, forward bending cross guard that protects the fingers. Boker achieved the knife's preferred rearward balance by inserting lead weights into the handle-a beautifully ergonomic design. (KnifeCenter NOTE: The handles can be taken apart easily to access the lead weights which are removable) The 6" blade on this 10-3/4" knife has effective reach with a 1" wide blade that's beefy all the way to the tip. Struck of Solingen 440C stainless steel hardened to a Rockwell 58, the blade has the signatures of Rex Applegate and W.E. Fairbairn etched into the bead-blasted finish.
