Fletcher Knife Co / Detroit. 1863-1913. 3 3/4"

Very nice !
Bet it’s very satisfying to get that old knife in your hand after pursuing one for some time.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
In general, I have interest in any knife from the Midwest, but I also lived in Michigan for a few years. Going to shows, I would see Buhl, Olsen, Marbles, etc. But never seemed to run across a Fletcher.

It’s kind of like the potato chip commercial. Once you have one you can’t stop.
Take care my friend.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
Another great knife . You have been showing some very nice knives lately.


What’s the stamp that looks like a branch w/ leaves on this one ? Taking a guess it looks like a olive branch.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
The more I look at that knife, the more I like it. That is one good looking clip blade on that knife.

Here's an old Shapleigh Hdwy whittler I picked up on ebay. I love the handles on these old knives and also the swedge on the main blade.
