I recently acquired a "Fairburn-Sykes" commando style knife with sheath. It has Scheffield England stamped on it. I do not think it is an original, but it doesn't match the reproductions I have seen either. Someone has put a military symbol on it that says "WHO DARES WINS". I was looking to find the value any help would be appreciated.

"Who Dares, Wins" is the motto of the British Special Air Service. Sheffield is the production center for most British cutlery. I don't know offhand what companies are license building the Sykes-Fairbairn knife, but they're being produced in Sheffield still, so it might be an 'original' in the sense that it's made in the same place as the originals.
