The United Kingdom Special Forces Knife from BLACKHAWK!

Guns Magazine, July, 2009 by Jeff Morey

The patent pending UK-SFK or United Kingdom Special Forces Knife was designed specifically for Britain's elite Special Forces. Based upon stringent specifications, the BLACKHAWK! design team drew from the groundbreaking works of Col. Rex Applegate, W.E. Fairbairn, and Brent Beshara to create the ultimate combat dagger. The UK-SFK's broad, symmetrical blade is precision ground from premium D-2 tool steel for an exceptional combination of edge geometry, point strength, and penetration. Its integral crossguard and distinctive full-tang handle design are borrowed from Brent Beshara's XSF-1 dagger for outstanding strength and ergonomics. The UK-SFK comes complete with an injection-molded nylon sheath specially designed to support vertical and horizontal wear on MOLLE gear and attachment to BLACKHAWK!'s drop-leg holster platforms. Blade length is 6.22", Overall length is 11.38". And, the blade finish can be either black epoxy coat or brushed satin.
