[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]This iconic knife is usually known as the First Pattern. It was designed by William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes in 1940 in response to the conditions of World War Two. The duo had been given responsibility for training the recently-formed special forces in \u2018unconventional warfare\u2019. This included the commandos in Lochaber and specialist men selected for the Special Operations Executive (SOE). <\/p>\n

This dagger was saved from destruction after being given to police in Fife as part of a knife amnesty. Fortunately, a serving police officer recognised its historic importance.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipl_image_magnifier image=”https:\/\/museumofthehighlands.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4125_01-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipl_image_magnifier][dipl_text_animator animated_text=”Roll Over The Image To Zoom In” animation_time=”2180ms” animation_hold=”5980ms” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_text_settings_font=”Comfortaa||||||||” global_text_settings_text_align=”center” global_text_settings_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”-9px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipl_text_animator][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”10232″ posts_number=”8″ db_images_per_row=”3″ db_image_max_width=”88.2%” db_image_row_spacing=”10px” db_image_object_fit=”initial” dbdb_version=”4.2.2″ orientation=”portrait” show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” zoom_icon_color=”#1ab3ae” hover_icon=”T||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||20px||false|false” border_radii_image=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|9px|9px|9px|9px” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#000000″ border_style_all=”dashed” inline_fonts=”Comfortaa” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
