Dagger of Ferburn-Sykes

60


Special services agents use not only pistols with a silencer. Often, especially during the Second World War, cold weapon. Most probably, the famous dagger of the special forces of the Second World War - the combat dagger of Ferburn-Sykes.

William Ferburn and Erik Sykes developed this dagger for the needs of the commando units based on the so-called “Shanghai fighting knives” in 1940 year. Later, two more modifications appeared, the last in 1942.

Dagger of Ferburn-Sykes
Dagger of Ferburn-Sykes first modification


The first modification of the dagger had a brass handle with diamond-shaped notches. Garda was S-shaped. The blade, having a ricasso, was forged by hand, which makes it almost impossible to find two knives with identical blades. There were few such knives, fewer than 7 thousands.

The length of the dagger of the first sample was about 29-31 centimeters, with the length of the blade 16-17.5 centimeters. Weapon weights ranged from 230 to 270 grams.

Dagger of Ferburn-Sykes second modification


The second modification also had a forged blade, but without ricasso. In addition, the guard was straight, not S-shaped. There were nickel-plated models of this knife, but there were also black ones, partially or completely blued. By the end of the Second World War, knives, which were initially nickel-plated, also began to be crowned.

The length of the second sample dagger was about 28.5-30.6 centimeters, with the length of the blade 16-17.7 centimeters. The weight of the weapon became lighter and ranged from 220 to 240 grams.

Dagger of Ferburn-Sykes of the third modification


The dagger of the Ferburn-Sykes third modification began to produce at the end of 1942 of the year. The blade was not forged manually, it became more standardized. Until the end of World War II, 200 000 of such knives were manufactured. The handle no longer has diamond-shaped cuts, but 27 rings have appeared, which improve the dagger's ergonomics. True, experts say the deterioration of ergonomics of the third modification compared with the first two.

The garda of the third modification of the dagger is straight, often with a stamp on it, just like on the blade itself. Despite the fact that the dagger was not forged manually, the difference in the sizes of different instances remained. Probably the reason for this is that the daggers were made in different factories.

The length of the dagger third modification 29.1-30.1 centimeter, blade length 17.1-17.8 centimeter. The weight of the dagger is from 250 to 260 grams.

There are other variations of the Ferburn-Sykes knife. One of the best was produced at the end of 1942 by Rogers and was called "Beaded & Ringed". The model owes this name to its handle, made of brass with a characteristic pattern that makes it easier to hold the knife.

Even less often knives with wooden handles. There is an assumption that such weapons were made for the needs of units that fought in a hot climate, where the hand was sweating quickly. In fact, these knives have little in common with the classic models of Ferburn-Sykes, except that the shape of the blade.

For the overwhelming number of models of this weapon, the sheath was made extremely simple, leather. For the first modification, a buttonhole was used to fix the weapon; later, a rubber loop came to replace it. Sometimes there were sheaths for paratroopers that were attached to the thigh or shoulder.

Also, it was very rare to see a rather strangely shaped metal sheath with leather, most likely used by the CIA and other similar structures.

      It should start apparently with the fact that this thing is not a knife. This is a dagger, just English dulls the difference. Accordingly, the technique of its combat use is completely analogous to the combat use of sharpening. With his help, you can’t conduct a knife fight, it’s impossible to beat back, block anything. It’s even difficult for them to cut the sausage, that is, as an element of soldier’s equipment, it’s practically a piece of meaningless iron. It can be effectively applied to a punch strike and nothing more. Moreover, the shape of the blade, taken, of course, from no Shanghai KNIVES but from a completely European misericordia, causes low blood loss from the wound. Miserikordii killed the lying knight. This was done slowly, the blade plunged into the holes of the visor, that is, through the eye to the brain. Either in the eye and to the posterior wall of the skull, or very precisely in the heart, and it should be borne in mind that with a broken needle-shaped heart tip, the enemy is still able to kill you in turn within a few seconds. In the kidney yet, with the same problems ... You won’t even get angry with this needle of the enemy, I’m not talking about damage.
      In a word, the technique of knife fighting, this fraudster was trained except in the London opiekurilnoy at the local breakdown of Sun-vysun. The dagger was drawn by an artist who visited the British Museum a couple of times. A lousy bullshit, but pretty, just right to suck the little horses ...
      P.S. Ricasso just happened to be on misericordia because its length was supposed to be considerable, the knights had a bit of brains, just pierce it, hit it again, but it was impossible to increase the thickness - it would get stuck in the gap. Then they caught sight of it ...

          Did the criminal teach? I do not blame, everything happens in life, but beware of this science. The urks cut, they don't fight. That is, they themselves choose the time, place and combat state. If the hands "lead" - they do not rush to stick in the back, wait out, calm down, throw themselves with something ...
          In battle, the ATF is pouring from the ears, so the elite cannot control their actions so subtly. There are simply more important tasks. Therefore, if you need an army knife for battle - this is HP. A wide, durable blade leaves an equally wide wound. Moreover, there is a dropper - expansion in the area of ​​emphasis. Once stuck and pulled out as quickly as possible without a hitch. A large stream of blood and extensive internal damage with a guarantee will not allow the enemy to kill you.
          Do you have time to "play"? Read about NDK 17. Working with cutting lunges from a safe distance for you. A person can be stabbed with a sheet of paper. But it is not very wise to use this piece of paper as an army knife ...

          Anglo-Saxons fought a lot in the jungle. There, the skin burns with fire. And you smear berets, right? But the brass handle does not need to be smeared with anything. And in battle, she will not let you down, but if the lace is dispersed in a fight ...
          However, the shape of this cool handle excludes a fight. She's really Shanghai, that's right. This is a props. In a sense, the Shanghai Opera is very fond of and has always loved performances like "I'm at my mother's helicopter." A man comes out and begins to twist interceptions. This shape, the "elongated snot" type, is ideal for rotations without a grip. True, when you try to fix the dagger in your hand, you will find that the narrow shank does not give the fingers support and the hand spontaneously unclenches. Press the little finger and see - the index finger has torn off. Everything is correct. Artists are young, inexperienced, and stage props help them.
          About "medieval warriors" ... ask what "gallant poetry" is. These same warriors carried several knives, otherwise they would not survive. Quite often also a dagger ... deservedly called a scoundrel's weapon. Since it was used exclusively for backstabbing.
          Why is not suitable for cutting blows? But how does a knife cut, you know? Ever wonder why a knife cuts at all? smile To answer this question, the teacher shows you a blade in a microscope (yes, that's how I was taught. I understand, but ... it happened in general). The knife ... saws. The blade is a microsaw that can be sharpened correctly. Each of its teeth tears off a tiny piece of the cut tissue, and this is how an incision is made. Therefore, the cutting tool at speeds that can be generated by a human hand has a distinctly crescent shape. The incision is made in a straight or circular motion, so that the largest surface area of ​​the blade of your "micro saw" passes over the tissue being cut, then the incision is deep. And the dagger is the point and that's it. It needs to be guided parallel to the tissue being cut, which is almost unrealistic in combat. And the tip itself just scratches shallowly, irritates but does not harm.
          Terminology? I was not taught by fencers. They told me that working with a long blade is nothing like working short. They showed something long ... not enough for their own generalizations, so I don’t have my opinion here. Maybe I’m wrongly calling, well, I'm sorry.

              The question was why a dagger should not be used for cutting, cutting. If a dagger is stuck - this is not a cutting blow, even with a fright. Did not the knife fly out of the hand due to the problem with the handle? For example, cord knitting, for example, has diverged - has it eaten sweat? And here I flew. Do you know such an exercise - to strike secant blows on a transom knitted from a rope? Then the brush hurts acutely smile Beat, beat and suddenly fyut! there’s no knife in the hand.
              And then affectionate explanations. I told you, a club, skeletons in the kin are good. Cord windings, straps, braids, and other beautiful women - figure in front of the girls. The only winder that a fighter can afford is from wire, from wire, from wire ... and the pressure between the shoulder blades increases.

          You confuse the warm with the soft. The fungus from human sweat is indestructible in practice. In berets, you wear socks, at least. And do not consciously bring the legs to the clinical fungus. And the sweat entering into the skin is decomposing just a mini-tube for the fungus. And that is sadness. I do not keep knives with a leather handle in my collection.

          And "to rewind the leather tape" - it is you, with all the politeness, stump my mind. A leather band on the sword is appropriate. For a knife, the term "leather" implies a set of leather washers. And the "tape" is capable of "frayed" surprises at the most inopportune moment. And washers are tricky for MASS production. They steal, with decent skin.

          Guys ... It is with the "Toledo blade" of a beautiful sword that elegant injections are applied. Batman, in quarto, in octavo ... music for the ears. Cut with a knife - a full passage with a full blade. Sekut - short lateral sweeps, the crescent point is pressed into the cut surface, the blade is almost perpendicular to the cutting surface. And, excuse me, they are poking. Unlike a beautiful fencing thrust, as a rule, the whole body in a beautiful pose does not stretch, the fighting distances are different. The hand, the forearm ... even the shoulder is not always fully involved. There is no "beauty" in a real knife fight.
          These are filthy ghouls, dirty killers - European nobles killed so much that they had an urgent need to decorate their vile deeds. They came up with elegant terminology, in every possible way chattered the bloody murder ... They loved the dagger very much. Elegantly, understand? There is no bloody stream, the hand does not flood, the camisole does not spoil (again, practical. No European nobleman disdained not only to rob the killed, but also to tear off his clothes! Knighthood, understand ... it's one thing - a small diamond-shaped hole in front of the heart, and another - a bloody shower over the entire rag).

My weapon is a knife, blade length 25 ... 30 cm, width 4 ... 5 cm blade 2-sided sharpening, sting, about 5-7 cm one-sided sharpening. guard is required. Well, the hilt .... under my arm.

No, well, if you carry the kit with you instead of something you need, well, such as ammunition and actually firearms, then yes, you can throw it. I’ve somehow seen in the life of only one sensible master who has famously thrown everything, including heavy forks, and he didn’t advise me to do this, as well as throwing a thief from hand to hand and turning the knife with his fingers in real business, he himself is for the soul doing this.

    Nikolay, you surprised me. Where are you going to fencing in a REAL battle, like at a knightly tournament in the Middle Ages ??

    The real knife fight is a cruel joke, short and prosaic - two came together and waved only once, one howled and fell to the ground, the other remained on its feet, and that’s all. In the special forces, even that is not there, the victim rarely finds out who killed her and what.

    This is all of course interesting, But can anyone explain from which fright the given sample is considered to be a hunting weapon, when the military use is clearly evident, and it seems to be from the category that fall under the UN Convention.
    With regards to the metal handles, excuse me but survival knives, but what do they look at MOD products are the same MARK V ATAK or REZER, by the way, if I remember correctly, the same well-known MARK I and MARK II legs grow one curate from this sample, and even their handle is metal with a slightly altered top.
    With regards to throwing, Tyumenets correctly said that with appropriate training you can actually throw any sharp object at all, the inhabitants of Moscow and not only they, but everyone who was interested in cold things should have heard about a club like Ratnik, because there are sickles and other things.

    Pigs in Russia are usually beaten with a blow to the heart, with a narrow long knife "pig-breaker", so that the heart beat after a blow for some time, so that the blood would drain into the pericardial space. Then, when cutting, the blood is scooped out for further use. Who drinks vodka, who drinks or fries or makes sausage. When slaughtering, you cannot use a wide knife, since the animal dies instantly and the blood remains in the meat, In the same way, a person, when struck with a stylet in the heart, may not die immediately and even have time to shout. The balance of a chopping strike weapon is the most important component! In order to make sure of this, ask the workers for scrap at the construction site. take him and fuck .. hit them with all your might, chopping blow on the corner of the building .... return the crowbar. thank you ... Check your whole hands or not. In case of injury, take action. The scrap has a center of gravity in the middle, i.e. 1 = 1. For a sword, for a knife, the center of gravity is 2 parts of the blade for 1 part of the handle. An example is the total length of the knife is 30 cm, the center of gravity is 20 cm from the tip of the blade. Or the sword is 90cm long, its center of gravity is 60cm from the tip of the blade. this is the classic balance. Therefore, for balance, the sword handle is usually metal, for balance with a heavy blade, and a lighter knife handle for balance with a light blade. Deviations are possible, it depends on personal preferences, but small. With another, not your, balancing, weapons can give you a lot of problems

      So yes, not so, let's start with the fact that the blades are also divided into leading and driven, then do not forget that there is still thickness and technological holes both for a general reduction in weight and for a shift in the center of gravity, the same throwing ones can, and most often it is, the blade is about the length of the "handle" but the balance is shifted towards the edge, there is such a simple check the knife is placed in the area of ​​the "transition" of the blade into the handle on the index finger and if the blade outweighs the specificity of either a throwing device or a chopping device, by the way, if remember there were sabers for heavy cavalry so there was deliberately just to enhance the chopping effect there was an extension at the end of the blade, then different hardness and sharpening angles, in short a lot of nuances.

    - On one of the English-language sites dedicated to this weapon, it is written approximately the following: "It is intended for" silent murder ", or for hand-to-hand combat, in conditions where the use of firearms is impossible ..."
    "Some critics do not understand the purpose of this weapon - it is ideal for removing sentries ..."
    - "This knife was not designed for knife fighting, it is intended for silent killing ... removing sentries ..."

        And what else to demand from entichs throughout almost the entire history they have been engaged in sabotage and other things, it’s enough to remember the pirates in the service of their Majesty, what is more, they have (and maybe had) a sort of hybrid of stylet and brass knuckles before the device.

              There is no one about which I am hidden wearing, and when "folded" looked like a small baton with a striking part in the form of a sphere and a clip-type attachment, which played the role of brass knuckles and protection of the hand, a blade like a triangular section was hidden inside, and by "dropping" the sphere turned into a striking element of the flail (the baton is hollow and I seem to remember a metal cable in it)
              If I remember this device was described in the Appendix to the "Technology of Youth" somewhere in the 90s.

                    Here is something like that, only instead of a loop "clip", well, a kind of refinement. Interestingly, this is not a case of ours, if so then it is necessary to claim compensation from the islanders !!!

    From this dagger (landing knife) a certain Dietmar Paul makes a start in his book "combat knives". Subsequently, one of the authors of this knife Fairburn makes an excellent combat knife together with Rex Applegate. I have experience in fencing - at one time I fulfilled the standard for cms in foil fencing. My opinion is the following - this is a knife for hidden use. You can't do Makhach for them - it's ridiculous to think about it. For a linear mahach, I would take a type of master tanto magnum or something like him
