Russell Barlows

I got a Russell & Co.--Green River Works Barlow today. Maybe I will post a pic later, I still have to do the little Coca Cola knives and there are six (6) of them!

But when I put together the post about the Barlows I almost made the mistake of writing a post about Russell Barlows and posting it in the A.G. Russell spot.

I know the difference (I think) but I am not an expert with all of the history an court cases. But I know my Barlows with the B and straight ine arrow thru it, and the Russells with the <>Russell<> marking, as well as the Russell & Co.--Green River Works Barlow knife are NOT A.G. Russell. So I am glad I did not insult anyone b mis-posting it.

I don't own any A.G. Russell's yet, but I did join the group after almost placing my Barlow post there, so that I can learn something and get all these Russells straight in my mind.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 22, 2012 at 23:37: No Barlows, but I've got a Russell-Green River Works whittler...

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on March 22, 2012 at 17:20: I love those old Russell knives. I use to carry a Green River fixed blade in carbon steel. I used that knife to clean lots of game when I was a young man, I'll bet of those old Russell's would have alot of stories to tell of their use over the years.
