Inglis Fairbairn-Sykes Knife and MAC Mk II Feature on the Knife Wire

Knife Wire for Tuesday, October 21 By Paul Markel

Over the decades, numerous knife makers and designers borrowed heavily and liberally from the original Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife. Currently, there is an excellent reproduction of the original F-S knife available from MAC under the title “Inglis Fairbairn-Sykes Knife”.

Military Armament Corporation MAC Mk II

The current Military Armament Corporation is headed up by people who love American military history. Saddened by the loss of the Gerber Mk II, they decided to reintroduce a version of the famous blade called the MAC Mk II knife.

The MAC Mk II looks very similar to the Vietnam era MkII with a stainless steel blade, double-edge blade and a gray handle with black cross guard and pommel. The edge is razor sharp and the pommel has the traditional lanyard hole.

At press time, MAC has launched commercial sales of the MAC Mk II knife. If you are interested, go towww.milarmamentcorp.com. Keep in mind, both the F-S knife and the Mk II may be limited production runs. They will not likely last forever. Forewarned is forearmed.
