• WWII ENGLISH SYKES-FAIRBAIRN
  WWII ENGLISH SYKES-FAIRBAIRN BRASS KNIFE W/ SHEATHNorthwestern Europe, England, ca. 1941 CE. This is a fine example of the popular second pattern of the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife with the "B2" guard marking. The brass handle and steel blade are designed like a small stiletto sword: a sharp double-edged blade, prominent midrib, tapered tip, and a thick handle that has a knurled surface for superior grip. The oval cross guard is stamped "ENGLAND" on one end with the broad arrow emblem and "B2" on the other. The original leather sheath is stamped "ENGLAND" on the flap and a bass chape cap protects he leather from the blade - which is still very sharp! Size (knife): 11.25" L x 2" W (28.6 cm x 5.1 cm); (blade): 6.3" L x 1" W (16 cm x 2.5 cm) The knife was designed by William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes during the 1930s and then adopted and used by British Special Forces during WWII, later models are still in service today. The knife’s length was designed specifically for armed conflicts with the idea that the blade must pass through up to 3 inches of thick combat clothing before reaching and penetrating the skin of the opponent. While shiny knives glinting in the distance are known to psychologically intimidate, the raids conducted at night relied on surprise, and these second pattern knives were blackened for stealth.

• FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR BONE HANDLE &
  FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR BONE HANDLE & DAMASCUS STEEL KNIFENorth America, Western United States, ca. 21st century CE. An impressive knife made from Damascus steel with a lovely, watered pattern and a handsome handle made of fossilized dinosaur bone. The single-edged knife features a tapered blade edge and an upturned and pointed tip opposite a thick spine. The tang is covered with a brass bolster and the handle panels are carved from fossilized dinosaur bone of lilac, blue, black, and mauve hues. The remarkable coloration is a result of agatization - the bone material replaced with silica creating the marbled crystalline surface of cell structures. The bone likely came from a sauropod dinosaur during the late Jurassic period in the Morrison Formation. This knife is indeed made to be used- the blade is very sharp- and comes with a cloth and fleece lined zipper case.
