I have always felt that one of the indicators of a truly class act businessperson is how they treat you when you make a small purchase from them. I saw this demonstrated very recently when I took advantage of AG's free shipping offer. I bought probably one of the least expensive knives in AG's catalog - the Klaas Toothpick, $13.00 and some change. I was treated just as courteously, shipping was just as fast...just as if I were buying a Randall or the like. Things like that speak volumes to me.

I just RE joined his knife club. I use to belong for years, I guess I forgot to pay my dues and was removed from their list. I fixed that, I'm back...lol

Same here. Probably my most respected knifedesigner. I'd love to be able to meet him some day.

Mr. A.G., helped get me out of backwoods knife collecting to the more modern day experience, with the education of great knife makers and great knife steels. It's hard to learn when you are isolated from the rest of the knife world. I learned I could trust what he said and what he sold.

Over a period of three days I had 4 or 5 opportunities to speak with a representative at A.G.Russell names Phil.  We spoke about the first iKC knife, about NRA and AKTI and about many other things.  I did have an opportunity to tell him that Mr. Russell is on my personal list of Most Admired Knife Company owners.  He seems to have the ability to stay in touch with his customers.  Phil said to me that he has never changed how he views the customers, from the very first one to the last person to buy a knife from them.  KUDO's Mr. Russell and thanks for caring!

Thanks Steve, I need to check on that. Oh, thanks alot about the heads up on free shipping from SMKW this past weekend. I took advantage of it.

Yeah. I'd still like to order from mr. Russell. For instance...the new 2012 Texas Ranger will be on the website any moment soon.

But this time I'll have my brother's girlfriend take it to the netherlands for me. It'll save on shipping and on import duties....giving me the knife at the price that it was meant to sell for.

Alex, great set of knives, too bad about that import duty. I just recieved a Hen and Rooster knife from the time period that Mr. AG. owned it. I'd love to post a picture, maybe later.

Well, got my package. The 2011 Texas Ranger is a monster of a slipjoint.

Here you see it next to a standard size lagioule for reference....and that lagioule is NOT a small knife. I love it though. The fit of one of the scales is a little less than what I was used to from the 2010 texas ranger. But still quite good.

Also love those little titanium handled knives. Excellent backups or for when you want to slip something unobtrusive in the pocket. Although the Ultimate pen knife is smaller than I expected.

Used the cooking tweezers in a BBQ yesterday. Excellent cooking tool and wonderfull companion to my folding Hocho. Shame that I had to pay such a large sum on import duties again....(€32 or close to $40) as well as shipping. The knives were placed in a MASSIVE box. But hey, it got here so I'm happy.

"How Sweet It Is", Les that is one sweet little knife, you are lucky to have one. You will never waste your money buying an AG. Russell, it will hold it's value.
