Dagger recommendation

The new Gerber Mark II reboot looks pretty nice.

As soon as I can import them I’ll look into American custom knives I can’t wait!

These guys are Europeans, not Americans. I have big problems with customs/aduana too (I’m from Portugal), buying sharps outside European Union is a pain! But inside EU I can buy whatever I want!

It would seem most countries outside of the US are like that. There is this company in Australia called 'Pacific Bladeware'. They sell several models of the Fairbairn Sykes Fighting Knife as made by William Rodgers/Egginton group including the fully sterile version meant for actual special forces. I was lucky to get my hands on one.

Their website was gone last time I checked but they are apparently still in business. Try calling them and see if they will sell you something or import something for you. You lose nothing for asking. This is their number:
0403 800 391

I was lucky enough to be able to get a Hills Commando dagger from Holland and now I want another fairbarn Sykes type dagger, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of pacific bladeware that looks like a great version of it thanks for that information mate that’s why I love this forum.

Brrrrr.....

To each his own. That one is not to my taste. That handle looks like a BG took a dump on a Vietnam era MKII.

I far prefer the style/look of the original MKII handle.

Just my opinion of course.

Btw, I'm trying to remember but I seem to recall it was another company in Maniago that manufactures the bellum dagger for Fox and sells it as it's own brand only about 100 dollars cheaper. I'm trying hard to remember.

Hey mate I ended up finding and buying it. Its a Mil TAC dagger it seems to be the exact same design and steel and cheaper like you said the only difference is the handle material is miracta and fox’s is g10. Cheers for the post you saved me some cash!

I'm glad to hear it! I found it by accident one day. I couldn't remember the latin name of Fox's dagger so I searched on google and only the MIL-TAC would come up. From what I read Fox manufactures the knives for MIL-TAC to its specifications so you're getting the real deal.

Yeah man it’s also a tiny bit longer then the fox version. And the price was great for pretty much the same knife.
