Hey Mr. Russell.
I'm glad you joined us here. I wanted to invite you yesterday.
If I can help you in anyway, as you get settled in, please let me know. iKC is still a young network of collectors, only starting a little over 4 months ago, so jump in and help us build it out for all collectors for years to come.

SCOTT, WHAT WILL THAT DO TO THE PRICE OF YOUR JUMBO TOE NAILS IF THEY START MAKING THEM AGAIN?

Hey, A.G.
After our conversation awhile back, I talked to Leonard Leibowitz. He spoke highly of you and we had a lively conversation. He is back in New York and re-married.
I really appreciate your help. It helped me clear up several things for our WR Case historian.
Love to Goldie...

Hello I just found your page here, Yesterday I received my Hunters scalpel from you. Neat little knife. Mostly I want to thank you for continuing to send out a print catalog in the computer age. I look forward to it and would hate to see it stop. My next order I am going to get a pink Dozer folder for my 10 year old daughter.

Can you believe that another year has come and gone already! Hard to believe, eh? I guess the old saying really is true? ~ "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end you get, the faster it goes."

Here's wishing you a wonderful day and an even better year, Mr. Russell! Cheers, my friend!

Yes, appreciate the information on the steel. Will pass it on.

Beautiful facility you have there in Rogers, AR. Mr. Russell. Stopped in your store. Really nice people. Tried to get a tour of your facility as I do short videos for a TV station where I come from [KLHU TV 45 Lake Havasu City, AZ.]; possibly next time on our return trip from the Atlanta show. Pictures/videos of yours and one of your competitors businesses in eastern TN. will be shown locally to the knife collectors who watch our station. They seem to appreciate candid views of popular "far away" knife businesses.

One thing for sure: CAN NOT MISS, from the freeway, that A.G. Russell sign on your building! Just sorry I could not get a picture of it when I came upon it.

Thanks again

Regards
