Be careful Alex, I made that mistake. I bought a Hen and Rooster that was made after the real factory was closed. The wording of the sale had fooled me. Mr. AG. corrected me, I'm glad he did because I could have made the same mistake again.

I haven't bought it yet. Guess I'll pass on it then. Thanks for letting me know A.G.!

Alex,  What you have is a Jim Frost knife that I think that someone has re-handled with snake wood.

I hope that you did not pay too much.  Hen & Rooster NEVER made a peanut or a dogleg trapper, which is what you show here when they were owned by the Bertram family or by A. G. Russell.

So I have a chance to buy a Hen & Rooster peanut in snakewood scales. Just wondering if anyone could tell me something about this one:

Thanks Jan, it's out to peter force for a little while so he can get a feel for the Chinese made Russells.

Currently I'm eagerly awaiting announcement of the new Texas Ranger knife for 2014. As much as I love almost every design that comes from A.G. and Phil the Texas Ranger series have a special place in my heart. It should be revealed sometime end of this month or beginning of August from what I understand.

Alexander,

your newest Russell is stunning!

The anniversary is a great knife and WOW what a piece of history.  AG has helped more collectors and makers over the 50 years than I think I could count.  He and Ms. Goldie are great inspiration for the values of how to run a business.  If I could afford this piece of history right now, I would certainly own it

couple of shots of this nice looking knife that I bought a few months ago. Finally got around to taking pictures of it yesterday.

Ya'll are right. That's a pretty knife. I'll bet it's made by some of the best knife makers in the City of Swords, Seki Japan. I have some AG. Russell knives made there, that date back to 2002, and they are very well made. One of them is a Loveless style fixed blade, that sold for $170 back then, I now see them sell regularly on eBay for $225.

Not a trapper fan, but that's a purdy kinfe.
