By now the knife has been broken in a whole lot. It's opening feels smooth as a smooth thing. I also gave it a nice low angle sharpening. Here's a couple of pictures that I think turned out pretty good. I hope to take some more that are good sometime soon:

Sorry, don't have any good shots with the blade opened yet.

Alexander,

Thanks for the Pictures makes me reconsider not buying the knife.  I do have the older models and like them allot so I think I will be buying one to add to my collection.  The white bone looks really good almost like Ivory which is really cool.

I just got the new Morseth model 6 and have to get some pictures for you guys really nice knife.  I am really impressed at what has been coming out of the shop the fit and finish is perfect.

Cant wait to see the pics Les

Very nice Les. A.G. showed me some of those Morseth ones they were working on when I was over in Arkansas. They seemed like excellent knives.

I've done better than seen that one. I played around with the prototype when I was in AR.

Basically it's a VERY affordable knife with some features of much more pricey knives like the lock stop and the flipper.

The knife feels VERY thin in the hand. It's extremely flat and will disappear in any pocket. It's wide profile though will fill most any hand very well. It's not entirely to my taste but it's very well done. A very nice "low budget" knife.

Oh yeah...and why I was coming to this group today.,....to brag.

I scored an K87 One Hand knife with damascus clad CowryX blade on e-bay. It turned out more expensive than I was hoping for but I'm still happy with the price I paid.

Goldie told me that when they had them in stock (they haven't for a while) they didn't really realise how special the blade material was untill they were almost all gone.

So I'm happy that I could find one still. I'd have preferred to buy one directly from them...but since they don't sell them anymore that wasn't an option. Can't wait for that one to get here.

For those that don't know, Cowry X is a steel similar to ZDP189 with insanely high rockwell ratings. (somewhere along the lines of Hrc 65-67) If should take and hold a KILLER edge for a VERY long time.

I have one with Mamouth scales very sweet knife.  I'll try to send a picture.

I think I've seen pictures of that one. If I had the funds I'd buy that from you without a second thought.

No need not selling love the knife.  I just bought a new camera coming Wednesday so I am hoping to start sending pics of my Ag russell collection which is extensive.

There's a version with Sambar on the bay right now. Buy it Now price is more than double of what I just paid for mine...looks gorgeous though.

Looks like you can chop logs with that Orca! LOL!

I suspect you'll get a kick out of that knife Steve. It's a workhorse for sure. I suspect you'll also be surprised at how it disappears in the pocket.

I know how you feel.....I'm still waiting on my Cowry X one hand knife....last seen at the Chicago USPS sorting facility.

I thought you might find that an interesting knife. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

Good to hear. Maybe A.G. will pop in and see your report.

Well I just got word from my wife that there's a package with my name on it at the post office waiting to have import duties paid on it. I'm excited because I think it's going to be my Cowry-X one hand knife done by A.G. Russell!

Well it's here. The blade is gorgeous and I love the one piece construction of it.

What I don't love however is the large amount of both vertical and horizontal bladeplay. Not sure what to think about that.

Fixed the side to side play by ever so slightly tightening the pivot.

The tiny bit of up and down play I can live with.

Now....will this be a user or a collector....I kind of want it to be a user.

Definitely would make a great user I love mine.

Also the Cowry-X is way shape so watch those fingers mine have pently of scares from not being carefull.  Just got bit the other day by a new Cold Stell the lock was way tight when new working great now but it gave me a little bite.

Also has everyone seen the new boot knives from AG he came out with three types of the same model from China interesting knives has anyone got one yet?

Nope, I always wait ordering from A.G. untill someone I know is travelling from the states. Those boot knives kind of make me want to buy some boots......

Arkansas is a good place to buy boots

HAH! I'll remember that next time I'm there (maybe next year or so!)

Well I'm excited! The company just posted the 2013 Texas Ranger on Facebook, this is the prototype:

Looks great definitely on my buy list.

Great Design.  I like the swedge on that one

Well....it's on sale this week lol!

Added some pictures of this one as a discussion:

What do you guys think?

Well I finally got my missing Texas Ranger. The 2008 version. I'll take (and post) pictures sometime later.

Took a couple of pictures of the whole group. Thought those might need a spot in here as well.

Alex, I spent the Easter Holidays with my Grand Daughters in Arkansaw. We didn't make it far enough north to get to Mr. AG.'s place but I wish we had. We spent a few days at Lake Catherine, just south of Hot Springs. We had a great time, the mountains and lakes are so nice. I did find a Knife shop in Hot Springs and bought a couple of knives. Hey, I love your collection there, Texas Rangers. If they were just Louisiana blades, instead.LOL

Hahaha, I know how you feel. I just really liked the series.

Mr. AG. really has designed a fine line of knives, to see them altogether really shows them off.

It's only a little perseverance so far ;-). The series was only started 5 years ago. And I bought my first one in it 3 years ago.

So I've only bee trying to get them complete for the past 3 years. But still, I'm happy that I got them so far. Still, can't wait for this years version.

Sorry, Steve

The only A. G. Russell Knives not marked A. G. Russell were marked A. G. R. or Bertram (Hen & Rooster.)  There are NO unknown A. G. Russell Knives

well that is good to know!

That means we have a mystery on our hands

A well done comparison of some fantastic knives

Thanks Jan. They are very nice indeed.

I finally got my Titanium Framelock Spearpoint yesterday!

And seriously....the fit, finish and materials are such that I'm surprised that A.G. can sell them for this pricepoint! Really! I've seen knives at 3x the price that this one is that weren't done as well.

Thank you to Ms. Goldie and to Phil.  I had a great time at your booth today and learned a good deal about the newest Frame Lock.  Check it out in the Blade Show 2013 discussion

That Skorpion looks quite nice. Somehow I really enjoy seeing the components like that. Makes me like it more than the pictures of completed knives I've seen.

And yeah, both A.G. and Goldie are great people. I'll believe you really enjoyed spending time with them with ease.
