    I subscribe too. AG has some cool stuff!

  • Jan Carter

    Alexander!  That is fantastic, you now have all the Ranger series right?

  • Alexander Noot

    Jan now I have every model Texas Ranger produced since 2008.

    I know there's a couple from before then though. He didn't do a yearly version so I'll have to look a little harder for those. But I'll see if I can start amassing some of those too.

    I agree Hog, that is a beautiful knife!!

  • Alexander Noot

    Those Morseths are amazing Steve. Only thing that surpasses the looks on those is the quality. The fit and finish on those is just off the charts.

    Here's some pictures of the 2013 Texas Ranger:

    Someone on E-bay that doesn't seem to know what the word "Mint" means.....Look at the point of the blade and tell me that's not worn.

    Also the only one I've ever seen with filework. I'm suspecting it didn't come out of the factory like that:

    The knives we have included in this week’s special are all handmade.  Makers include Randall, Dozier, Kressler, Morseth, Keith Murr, A. G. Russell Shopmade and Russ Kommer for Browning.  We have just a small quantity of each of these on the shelf and ready to ship.  Some will not be repeated.  Others will take three to four months to deliver once our current stock is gone.

    You might also be interested to know that a friend of mine is disposing of his wonderful and large collection of Elephant Toenail folders.  If these are of interest to you, you might take a look at his website for information about the knives at http://www.elephanttoenails.com/.

    Congrats, Mr. AG.

  • Alexander Noot

    That's amazing! Looking forward to seeing what me Russell will come up with to celebrate.
  • Jan Carter

    We have only a few of each of the knives in this week's mailing in stock. Most of them are knives that will not be made again. However, there are two that I particularly want to draw to your attention. They are the two in the photograph to the right of this note. The top knife is a Morseth® Hunters Bowie. The handle material is Mesquite. The bottom knife is the A. G. Russell™ Shopmade® Caper with Giraffe Bone handle scales. We have made only 12 of each. Because of the availability of the handle material, it will be quite a while before we might be able to make more of these knives.

    Just got one of A.G.'s Cowboy "sodbuster" type knives. And I like it much more than I expected I would. Here's a couple of pictures:

    2014 is Mr. AG.'s 50th anniversary. I wonder if he has a special knife planned for it. I'll bet he does.

    Alex, you usually keep up with the latest news on here. Have you heard anything about a Anniversary knife, for Mr. AG.?

  • Alexander Noot

    If you scroll down (or to the next page) there was this comment from the company  a little while back:

    So I suspect he's got something in the pipeline. When I was over a year and a half ago they were working on some models that I haven't seen come out yet. So I'm sure they'll be coming along at sometime.

  • Jan Carter

    Does anyone know what the January release is?

    A quick pic of one of my favourite knives. My A.G. Russell One Hand knife with titanium handle and bone scales.

    I've been carrying that little knife for over a year now (not every day but at least once a week) and I'm still in love with it. The lock/closing system is simply one of the coolest ones on the market. It closes FAST, and smoothly. It looks great. Is comfortable in use and looks great.

    If you've never used a knife with the A.G. Russell frontlock you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try.


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    That's a nice one, Alex. I see it has VG-10 steel, what do you think of it?

  • Alexander Noot

    It's a very handy little blade. It's just long enough to do almost everything. Thick enough to feel solid enough while doing it. (1/8" thick steel or close to it)

    The bone scales will acquire some nice character over the years. The titanium liners and backspacer make it lightweight and the deep carry pocketclip make for very unobtrusive carry. Honestly, there isn't a thing I don't like about it.....ok, maybe the thumbstud is a little sharp. But a little sandpaper will fix that in seconds.

    The VG-10 steel is also a treat. Very good edge retention, fairly easy sharpening and will take a KILLER edge.

    Got my new AG Russell catalog today.

    I think I'm in love...

  • Alexander Noot

    That's a very nice knife JJ. Be wharned though (lol) it's BIG! I owned the two bladed version for a while. It's a massive Wharncliffe blade.

  • Alexander Noot

    As a sidenote....the clippoint version of that was SO lowpriced because of customer Appreciation that I couldn't resist it and a cocobolo Clippoint is coming my way.


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    That is a great deal on that clip point.

  • Alexander Noot

    I kind of wish it was the wharncliffe. But I love me a good clippoint as well. And yeah...it's an AMAZING bargain.

  • J.J. Smith III

    Hey,  for the paltry sum of only $15.00 more, I could get the best of both worlds...

    http://www.agrussell.com/ag-russell-sowbelly-trapper-with-cocobolo/...

  • Alexander Noot

    I had that one. It's great except for that the secondairy blade kind of gets in the way of a comfortable grip.

  • Alexander Noot

    Bytheway....I'm looking for some Hen and Rooster Russell knives...preferably the coffin handled ones. If anyone ever wants to trade me one of those (I don't have a lot of spare $$$ to spend) I'd be happy to send one of the knives I made their way or depending on the knife make them something to order.

    I'd almost (almost) sell my soul for the one that's on auction right now on E-bay (not a coffin one but it's gorgeous.)

  • Les Swalm

    How about this one CM-7P I have 2 of these and can do a trade but will have to be something really cool since this is 14K Gold Bolsters and Bullet.

    I also have this one that I would part with for the right deal my email is swalml@dnb.com.

     

  • Alexander Noot

    Both of those are exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. I'l send you an e-mail.


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    I have two of those, my best one has engraved bolsters and scrimshawed and signed. The scene is that of Whitetail deer. I am sorry Alex, they are my favorites too. 


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    Oh my second knife is just like the one with the bullet but is a bit plane Jane next to that one. Mine only has the bullet inlay.

  • Alexander Noot

    You shared a picture of that one a while back Robert, I love that one with engraved bolster. Looks amazing.

    Just scored a nice Camillus made 2001 Texas Ranger. My info has it pegged as 154CM steel and red jigged bone. It's really nice. Very different from the other A.G. Russell Texas Rangers that I have. Pictures to follow sometime.
