Very nice !

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.

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.

The more I look at that knife, the more I like it. That is one good looking clip blade on that knife.
