Not sure who made this Utility Fighter but have a good idea - My first thoughts were that it Resembles the maker from Clarkson Nebraska in the 40's {Frank Joseph Richtig} - He was known for making Aluminum Handled Kitchen Knives and Numerous Brass Handled Knives - this is a very heavy duty knife that is really old and has a sheath that has been with it most of its life of high quality durable leather with a snap button stay - Very Cool Collectible ~ were this proven to be a Frank Joseph Richtig ~ it would be a highly Valuable piece to many FJR Collectors ~ No Reserve Auction ~ Ships Priority Insured Mail ~

Note: Frank made a lot of his knives using Brown and Red spacers with brass and stacked leather, just what this one has ~ it was an uncommon feature and unique his knives were well known for ~ He was also known for making many knives that left his shop Un-Marked ~

"Junk on blade can be cleaned or wiped away with some soap ~ Un-Fooled around with Found Condition" ~

"Sheath Stamp C/R inside the shape of a Cowhide and the word "COLONY" at Bottom ~ center of sheath is the number {4}" $895.00 {Open to Offers} by PM only ~ "PayPal"

1) "No Reserve Auction " Auctions are prohibited on this site. Your last line stating the price of "$895 but open to offers" is acceptable, but you need to remove the line about "auction".

2)
You are required to post a date stamp pic(s) in compliance to the current exchange rules and as noted in the forum header announcement.
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...d-dishonest-behavior-in-the-exchange.2032955/
The four requirements for the date stamp pic are username, date, and "BladeForums", plus the actual item being sold.
