my latest wilkinson sword 2nd pattern fairbairn sykes knife
everyone has a slightly different bland due to be hand ground as are the etches from how they are applied with wax pulls

Factory fresh beautiful
every 2nd pattern is slightly different that's why I collect them
The shortest I have has a 6" blade the longest 7"
Some are only just wider then the etch
Will post some more of mine

i believe the etched nickel 2nd pattern to be the rarest f-s knife
there are lots of 1st patterns for sale but try and find one of these

Bit of a sweeping statement. Surely named 1st patterns only two known examples, the very rare E etched 1st pattern 5 known, outweigh these in terms of rarity.

Lovely Knife Allan Seeing the comment regarding etched nickel-plated 2nd pattern WS Knives, I do agree they are not too common. Here is my example. regards, Clive.

A name or the E etch is not a patern of f-s knife so I stand by my statement

If we were to include oddities the blind nut 2nd ,all
Blued etched 2nd or the button grip would be near the top
