February Auction

Support the American Knife and Tool Institute and bid on an A.G. Russell Sowbelly Trapper with Yellow Delrin®

Proceeds from the AKTI monthly auction support the organization’s legislative efforts to keep knives in American lives!

The February auction features an A.G. Russell Sowbelly Trapper knife with a Yellow Delrin® handle. This is a 4-1/4” closed two blade slipjoint folding knife constructed of 8Cr13MoV steel with both a clip blade (3-3/8” long and 1” wide) and a Wharncliffe blade (3-1/2” long and 7/8” wide). The liners, bolster, caps and the federal shield are all 400 series stainless steel.

A.G. Russell Sowbelly Trapper knife with Yellow Delrin handle is the featured knife for the American Knife and Tool Institute's February 2012 fundraising auction.A.G. Russell adds a stop pin that keeps the blades from ever meeting the back spring, allowing space for blades that are wider than those in average knives.

The handle features a Sowbelly pattern – it is smaller at the blade end and serpentine in shape. A.G. Russell takes the commonly accepted serpentine sowbelly and swells the large end. The curved bolster allows a very natural line for the open blade.

Fine workmanship is evident in the finish on the inside of the knife, which is comparable to the high quality, high price semi-production knives being made today. Before putting this knife into production, the prototypes were mechanically opened and closed over 300,000 times to ensure durability.

The Yellow Delrin® handle is a vibrant shade of yellow, making it hard to lose your knife.

The Sowbelly Trapper knife weighs 5.7 oz. This auction includes a handsome brown braided thong for lifting the knife from the pocket.

To bid, simply fill out the form below before 11:59 ET on February 29, 2012. The highest bid received will win the auction and will be notified after the auction closes. All proceeds go directly toAKTI’s legislative work to promote the responsible use of knives throughout the United States.

Thank you to A.G. Russell for their donation!
