Fairbairn-Sykes Commando - help me choose!

[Al Bain]

I want to get a good quality reproduction of the classic Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife. Must be functional (i.e. non-ornamental) and sturdy. Budget range: $30-$80. What production brands would you recommend (I doubt I could get a custom within this budget)?

All help appreciated.

P.S. Do you recommend stainless or carbon steel blade?

You might want to try http://www.actiongear.com for the new British version.

Boker sells an improved version of it. I would get that instead but it costs more money.
