The Applegate-Fairbairn or AF Knife is one of the greatest fighting knives ever created. The succesor to the famous and successful Fairbairn-Sykes knife, the AF fighting knife is the brain child of the famous combative instructors William Fairbairn and Rex Applegate. A dagger that excels in almost every combative function, it is a highly underutilized blade. Today on the Knife Life we dive into the Applegate-Fairbairn knife!
