Hello!

I am hoping you might tell me the highest quality SYKES FAIRBAIRN style knife. I am not particularly interested in historical accuracy. I'm just after the best knife in this style. Also, if there a knife of this style that lends itself to comfortable concealed carry. And YES. I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon (albeit it is for the carrying of a concealed firearm*) but imagine it would cover knives.

Thank You,
Panoply

* Depending, I carry one of 3 pistols/revolvers. They are: A CZ P-07 Duty 9mm; a S&W 642 (this is a 'hammerless' .38 Special); & a S&W Model 60 (a .357, though I use .38's in it). If you were curious.

Not the case in MANY states, and it is shocking that someone with a CCW wouldn't have the presence of mind to check on something that could end with you loosing your right to possess firearms.

But all thats on you.

Strider made a FS dagger that would be a good user if you can find one. ZT made the 0150 dagger which while not really a FS design is a pretty great dagger, and esa-swords makes a solid version of the classic design.
 
Maybe we could answer your question better if we better knew what you meant by "quality".

If you have an FS dagger made of the most cutting edge super steel with a diamond encrusted handle made by a master ABS smith, then another made in Pakistan out of 420J2 and dymondwood, either one, you jab a dude in the subclavian or carotid and he's gone goodbye.

Equally effective.

The Dutch company Hill Knives makes a good looking version.

Yes, what do you mean by "highest quality". And by F-S knife do you mean an exact type or the many daggers inspired by it. And is this to actually use or to display?
 
Agree with EricV on the subject of the knife as a concealed weapon. Having a concealed carry permit often means concealed handgun permit. My state's permit does not cover knives. It varies by state. And your state permit may not cover knives when you are in another state. These are things you need to know. Don't take anything for granted when it comes to the law. There is no consistency in laws and they can bite you on the ass in a New York minute if you're not careful.

If the OP is in Florida, they issue concealed weapons permits, not CHLs. Just curious though: what's wrong with the Boker A/Fs? There's only one reference to them in this thread, and I know they're better than the Blackjack version because they won't explode.
 
What R.C.S. suggested straight up all day long. And if you have a concealed carry permit it's more than likely it's strickly for a gun. I'm in Virginia, my CC permit is strictly for firearms. I conceal a dagger n get brought before a judge..Nighnigh 2nd ammendment rights.

Trust I enjoy carrying my knives as much as I enjoy conceal carrying my guns, I wil always do all in my own power to never ever lose these rights bestowed upon us by our founding fathers. Please my friend, call a knife/gun friendly lawyer local to you or in your state and find out down to the exact specifics what and where you can, and can't, so you will be fully clued up on not messing anything around on yourself brother. .all the best!

That's a dangerous assumption. Check the code/laws in your jurisdiction. In my jurisdiction a concealed hand gun permit on permits only that - a concealed handgun. If caught with a concealed dagger, that permit is useless.

You really should research, read, and know the carry laws in your jurisdiction if you are going to carry. Ignorance of those laws will never fly as a defense in court.

It's even more restrictive. The Virginia CHP only covers concealed handguns as the name implies. And don't fool yourself, you don't actually "do all in (your) own power" because until Virginia passes Constitutional Carry, you can legally conceal carry a handgun only if you've first gained the government's permission to do so.

Yes they do. I had a non-resident Florida permit previously before obtaining a resident permit from my home state. I remember it came with a warning that, while the Florida permit included other types of weapons, it was only valid for other weapons inside Florida. When in another state, even a state having reciprocity with Florida, the permitee is bound by the laws of the state they are in, not Florida laws.
 
Agreed with what's been said previously. Here in CT the CCW is technically a "License to Carry Pistols and Revolvers." (But LCPR is just so cumbersome! I'll still call it a CCW!)
It does not include knives. If one actually carries a knife because he has a CCW and assumes it applies to knives, without actually checking on that, I'd think that is reckless and demonstrates poor judgment.
