Until recently I thought...probably much like everyone else around here, that Dylan just sat around fondling knives and playing on his phone all day. You know...much like he does at Blade... And that he just had his little minions slaving away in the shop making these bad ass knives...
But recently I got the chance to see the man behind Fletcher Knives in action...
As it turns out he really does work, and work hard to produce this very high quality cutlery, doing some pretty damned complex grinding.
Though I did notice he sometimes forgets whether he is grinding a knife...or grinding an axe
It was awesome getting to see you in action brother, keep on keepin' on! As soon as I get out of the red and into the black, we are going to have to discuss the Delta Recurve further, or maybe one of those tapered 24/7s
For any that didn't catch it...though I thought it was obvious, yes I am very much so just giving Dylan a hard time. The man has an uncanny knack for producing blades with excellent balance, sublime ergonomics, wicked grinds, scary sharp edges, and serious intent. He makes awesome knives.
I have put some through hell, starting about five years ago, and loved the performance.

His O-575 is a bad ass blade I explored a whole new world (to me) with
This Pro 6-5 has gone where I have gone for the last four years, From SE Tennessee, to South Florida, to Northern Michigan, and lots of places in between
Dylan Fletcher is one of a handful of knife makers I trust with my life in the middle of nowhere.
I just couldn't help but give the man a hard time...
