I'm way too impressed with the knives, my wallet doesn't like it at all.

I have two kukris from 1918. Both were rusting in my grandfathers cellar. I removed the rust and both had an edge still, incredibly crafted.

Applegate Fairbairn was not used in WW2. It was an update of the Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger, which was used in WW2.

If I'm not mistaken the Applegate Fairbairn is a post war refinement of the the Fairbairn Skyes Commando knife.

My grandad fought in Burma and India in WW2. He was visiting a buddy in hospital one time who said the day before, the nurses were going crazy trying to track down a horrible smell. They checked everyone for gangrene, found nothing. Eventually they found the source under a Ghurka's bed - the head of the Japanese soldier who put him in hospital, in a bag. The standard technique with the khukri was to slam the blade into the gut, causing the enemy to double over, then sweep it out and take off their head. That's just what this Ghurka had done. And that's my kukri story.

The kukri is one of my favorites! Part machete, part axe, part knife. Super useful.

[camerapasteurize]

I have that exact kukri. Solid in your hand, sharpens easily and holds the edge, good quality at a very reasonable price.

I feel the Fairbairne Sykes is more iconic than the Applagate Fairebairne

[sonsofliberty]

You had me at Kukri, that blade is unbeatable man.

The Applegate-Fairbairn fighting knife didn't exist until the 1980s. The Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife was the Brit dagger used by commandos in WWII.

WW2 included such awesome daggers as the M3 trench, Ek's, Case Stilettos, raider stiletto, Western L76, Randhall, stickers, theater knives, Mark 1 trench knife, Taylor Huff, and more! But there were NO Applegates!

If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that a six inch blade never loses reception.

I received a Marine edition of the Ka-Bar from Marine vets for my Eagle Scout ceremony. Gave me a stand and everything. Still one of my favorite knives with a great backstory

[jamesmiddleton]

The Applegate-Fairbairn is a post war design intended to improve the Fairbairn-Sykes that WAS used in WW2. The Fairbairn-Sykes was designed in the late 1930's when Fairbairn was in the police force in Singapore.

This video reminds me of my grandfather's original Nepalese Khukri with a blood-stained wooden grip! He fought 3 Wars with it.

Every time I see a kukri all I can think about is the sniper from tf2

[chaddixon]

Thought it was Fairbairn/Sykes. Also the blade was thinner with black color.

[funnymanhaha]

When I got my first appartment, I didn't have any chef knives or anything. So for a while I used my KA-BAR as a substitute, it wasn't that bad.

Nothing beats the Richtig fighting knives that were also used. (Proud Nebraskan here)
