Does Fletcher Knives LLC take orders?
The answer is no. However, we do try to make sure that everyone who wants one of our knives gets one.

 

Why doesn't Fletcher Knives take orders?
Dylan Fletcher, the owner of Fletcher Knives believes in freedom. Not taking orders makes this possible by eliminating two things.

The first is the danger of money. Fletcher Knives LLC does not take deposits or payment up front. This way, if anything happens to Dylan Fletcher or the company, your money is still safe in your pocket. There are a lot of companies out there that take money up front. A large percentage of the time, that leads to customers wondering when the product they have paid for is actually going to get in their hands or losing their money all together. If some unforeseen catastrophe falls on Fletcher Knives LLC, you still have your money. We absolutely WILL NOT take money up front, so DO NOT ASK or try to convince us why it is a good idea. It isn't a good idea.

The second reason is because of time constraints. Dylan Fletcher likes to do everything at his own pace. Rushing anything leads to improper execution. We take our time and do things when they need to be done to ensure the best possible execution of the project. Also, Dylan Fletcher has other obligations that can sometimes interfere with knives being completed on a specific timeline. When a customer places an order for a product and receives a laid out timeline, they expect everything to be done exactly as the timeline specified. Due to Dylan's other obligations throughout the year, this is impractical. By not giving customers a specific timeline with their order, we greatly reduce the chances of customer disappointment. Also, we just flat out don't like to be nagged about when your knife will be ready. We're doing everything as fast as it needs to be done.

So, in conclusion, if you want to place an order, pay up front, and then call or email the knifemaker or company every day asking where your knife is and stressing everyone out, LEAVE THIS WEBSITE NOW and please seek a product elsewhere. There are a lot of knife companies out there that don't mind their customers running their business for them and ruining what can be a fun job.

 

How do I get my very own Fletcher Knife?
There are a few ways.

The easiest way is to "call dibs" on a knife. Since Fletcher Knives LLC does not take order is the traditional sense, we have come up with another way of ensuring that everyone gets the knife they want. We call this "The Dibs List". What you do is this... Simply send an email to Fletcherknives@gmail.com with the subject "Calling Dibs on a (insert model name here)." In that email, let us know which model you want to call dibs on. You may also specify handle material or any other options, such as an extended tang, etc. The base price of each model includes the cost of either black, green, or natural (tan) canvas micarta handle scales. If you wish to have a different handle material or special combination, we were work out pricing with the customer on an individual basis. Anything other than black, green, or natural (tan) canvas micarta, or other modification options are an upcharge to cover any additional materials or labor. When the details of your knife are worked out, there will be a confirmation email and your dibs will be added to the dibs list for that model. You may also specify "first available". This way, no matter what configuration becomes available, you will have first crack at it depending where you are on the list. When your knife is ready, you will receive and email letting you know it is done with pictures. You then have one week to decide if you want the knife and make your payment in full. Then the knife ships to you. If you do not respond within that week or you respond that you are unable to purchase the knife at that time, your knife will be sold to the next customer who has dibs on that particular configuration or on a "first come first served" basis via the email list.

Another way to get your hands on a Fletcher Knife is to be on the email list. Brand spanken new Fletcher Knives straight from Fletcher Knives LLC are almost NEVER listed publicly for sale. The reason for this is because we are ALWAYS backlogged several months with dibs orders and very rarely produce knives for the open market so that we can concentrate on fulfilling those dibs requests. However, it is not uncommon for a customer to not be able to get their knife at that time. We usually have one or two knives per batch that a customer just can't afford right then or can't take for some other reason. When this happens, we check to see if another customer has dibs on that particular configuration. If so, they get an email first. If no one has dibs on that configuration a mass email goes out to everyone on the email list and the knife is sold on a "first come first served" basis. Also, if we have a bunch of knives left over from a show, we do the mass email. This is a great way to get one of these knives. To get on the email list, just send an email to fletcherknives@gmail.com and say, "put me on the list!" Please understand that if you plan to get your knife this way, you need to be "Johnny on the spot". Knives listed in mass emails sell literally within seconds of the email going out.

Another way to get a Fletcher Knife is to watch the forums. If you are a member of a knife or outdoors forum such as Bladeforums.com, from time to time, you will see a used Fletcher Knife come up for sale. When that happens, be quick on the trigger, because they go fast!

How long will it take to get my Fletcher Knife once I have "dibs" on one?

Wait times for knives vary. Sometimes it is as quick as 3 months. Sometimes it is longer. It all depends on Dylan Fletcher's schedule, shows coming up, which model you choose, what you specify for your knife, etc. You may ask in your email for a rough estimate of your wait time, but keep in mind THIS IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE. We try to get our knives to customers as fast as we can, while still maintaining our extremely high level of quality control. We will not cut any corners or rush any project to get your knife to you faster. Quality is our main concern, not speed.

 

How do I pay for my knife?

We prefer Paypal for payments, but we do also accept check and money order. If you choose to pay with a method other than Paypal, your knife will not be shipped until payment has cleared.
