This is great! I have over 1,000,000 names in my data base, sadly I can only afford to mail toa couple of hundred thousand. Maybe I can find a few folks here that would like to look at new designs.

Welcome to iKC A.G.!! Thanks for signing up!! I'm SURE the collectors here would love to look at your designs!!

Mr. Russell, if you can channel your contacts to this group, you can do an group wide email to them for FREE. Think about it. This group would make an excellent "official" Russell Fan Club. Thanks for starting one. I do get your magazines and they are extremely high quality publications with excellent photos.

Welcome Mr. Russell and yes there is a lot of people that want to see your new and old designs - Do you still have the rights and info. to Cattaragus Cutlery.

This is our San Mai Drop Point Hunter with Spalted Maple Handles. We only had enough handle material for 11 knives. There are 7 left. You can get yours at www.agrussell.com

The A.G. Russell™ Boxcar Jack with Antique Green Bone Handles. There are only 5 left!! This handle material was done specifically for this knife. This is a very handy tool.
During the Great Depression, knives of this type were commonly carried by men who were on the move, looking for work. These men were called Hobos and their common mode of transportation was a train boxcar. The A. G. Russell™ Boxcar Jack consists of a knife and fork that are held together by slots and pins in the liners and can easily be taken apart, resulting in a separate knife and fork. The two halves can be separated without opening either blade. Simply push the mark, or obverse, side of the knife toward the pivot to slide the two halves apart.

Stop by and see our retail store. We are located off of I-540 in Rogers, AR.

A.G. Russell™ Dogleg Trapper

This is a wonderful example of the BEST of Japanese folding knives! In our quest for the best quality for the money, we sometimes accept knife designs from the companies or individuals who make knives for us. This beautifully made Trapper was designed by the maker for A.G. Russell™. With the much prized square tang, it is not quite as I would have designed it. I have a personal preference for tangs that offer walk and talk without stopping in the middle. When we were offered a sample of this knife a little over a year ago, though, the design was so superb and the craftsmanship so good that I had to ignore my opinion of the square tang.

The 2-3/4" Clip blade and a most unusual 2-3/4" Spey blade are made of about 1/8" thick (0.119) VG-10 stainless cutlery steel at 59-61 Rc. The liners, bolsters, caps and shields are exquisitely finished stainless steel. Available in both Cocobolo, an exotic wood that has been used in the cutlery industry for over 200 years, and European Red Deer Antler. Beautiful fit and beautiful finish. Measures 3-7/16" closed and weighs approximately 3.6 oz. Made in Japan.

Watch the above box with the Texas Ranger knives, we will be changing it periodically. Also watch the discussions forum as we will be adding new knives and knife designs as often as we can. Feedback is always welcome!

Got my one and only Randle from the kind folks at A.G. Russell. Saving my money now for one of those wine anvil caps. Will get me a William Henry in the next life. Might even learn to carve peachpits with. Humor there J. D. Frank

We are glad to hear you are happy with your knife Frank. We hope you continue to be a customer with us.

I see A.G. Russell has a link to Usual Suspects that no longer works. How about speaking to the web designer and pointing to a new home away from home, iKnifeCollector.

Well I was all set to order that stockman, but you ruined it by posting a Kershaw 1410 Starkey Ridge on cuttingedge.com. Thanks alot! (and I mean it too)..and thanks also to Cindy for taking my order...it seemed like it should have been after-hours and she was working late. I'll post some pics when it arrives.

Hey guys/gals- had my first opportunity to meet A.G. in person last week. What a treat! He toured me through this facilities there in Rogers. Quite an operation.
I just wish I had my recorder (video or audio) as we talked. I'd love to preserve his knowledge on knives.

The A.G. Russell Knife Event is a little over a week away and I am looking forward to it! It will be my first year to have a table at the show.

Arkansaw and pennsyvania or to far from South Carolina for me to be attending knife events there.

Hello, I was wondering if I could get any info on a "A.G. Russell Oak leaf and acorn etched sting" it's marked 1977 and has the "Russel" misspelled.

Thanks

A. G. Russell, use to put little sections on knife info in his catalogs. I wish he would start doing it again.

Robert,

 

What kind of section?

Ronald,

 

500 made sold out in about 4-5 months  only the damascus are more rare

Thanks A.G. How much did they sell for and how long ago, About how much are they with now....???

Thanks 

Wow, thanks Mr. Russell for getting involved in my question.  The section is called "knife Facts". Example..Spring 2005 catalog, page 2. They help people learn more about knives.

Hey, if someone in this group has gotten some of Mr. AG's new line of knives please post a picture or tell us what you think of this new design.

Unfortunately, these won't give you a good idea of the scale - the top knife is a miniature (#2-AG520-CQ) in Chinese Quince, and the bottom knife is quite large (RUS-CQ13YD) in Yellow Delrin. I like the look and proportions of the bottom knife, my new purchase. It has quite an Art Deco look, and the handle is quite long for the blade length. Fit and finish are excellent. Cheers, Stephen.

The small knife was made for us by people no longer in business, it was called the 3" Gent's Lockback I have redesigned the blade to make it wider and longer and will have one of my new makers produce it for you.

 

The Gunstock will also be made in smaller sizers

 

Something nice that arrived yesterday:

Just noticed that the 2011 Texas Ranger is finally out! I'm really excited about that one!

Has anyone read the personal letter that Mr. A.G. has written in their late fall catalog? If so, what do y'all think?

I think Mr. AG, said what needed to be said in a very nice way. He could have remained silent but explained how the knife world has become. Takes courage, good for you Mr. AG.
