  6. Boker - Applegate Fairbairn Combat Single Edge - PRIVATE COLLECTION - knife

    The design of this legendary knife was born out of the meeting of a former soldier and bodyguard to President Roosevelt, Rex Applegate, and William Ewart Fairbairn, who, together with Edward Anthony Sykes, had given birth to the progenitor of modern military fighters: the Fairbairn-Sykes that accompanied the British Commandos during World War II. In defining the forms of the new knife, the two started from the very limitations that had emerged from the wartime use of the Fairbairn-Sykes, particularly fragility, limited utility in cutting use, and the tendency of the round-section handle to rotate in the hand.

    Type of production: Industrial
    Country of manufacture: Germany
    Blade: 440C stainless steel
    Blade finish: matte finish, anti-reflective
