Cool pick up Bfeldman, wonderful old bone and a lot of the main blade left. Interesting to find out about the Wrigley connection.

I have one like that. How long is your's? Mine is 3 5/8".
How do you associate that number with your knife?
There are no numbers stamped on mine.
I like that long nail nick on the pen.
