Our spare bedroom tried to flood this past weekend. We had a lot of totes filled with books, magazines, and various miscellaneous catalogs and paperwork, so nothing was really damaged.
Since I had to move all of the totes anyways, we took this opportunity to sort through the totes and get rid of a bunch of stuff. Does anyone even have a way to read a 3-1/2" floppy any more? let alone a 5-1/4".... LOL! (Where's the trash can?)
ANYWAY! I found 4 catalogs from AG Russel in good condition.
Does anyone want these? Just cover the shipping and they are yours.

One of the first knives in my collection was an A.G. Russell dagger that a girlfriend purchased for me from a store that did consignments of knives & firearms. This was back in the early 90's, before I really started collecting knives.
A decade & some later, I decided to research that knife, so I ended up on some forum somewhere. Lo & behold, it was A.G. himself that responded! I'd heard that he was known for his affinity for talking about knives with anyone & everyone -- but it was still pretty cool to be one of those people -- especially when I wasn't expecting it!
Very sad indeed, he was a real pioneer in the Guild and many other areas.
Very sad. A great loss for the world of knife lovers. A thought from Paris for Goldie and all those close to A.G.
For those looking for info
Just heard the news that A.G. passed away.
I'm still processing this news.
Prayers for Goldie and all those close to him.
Although I've been using knives since I was knee high to a grasshopper and owned a few decent knives in high school and college such as the ubiquitous Buck 110 and Puma Game Warden lock backs, it was really AG Russell that got me into knife collecting. I think a Spyderco Pro-Venator C13 might have been the first knife I bought from AG in ~1998. I don't know the total I've bought from him but I'll bet it's close to 50.
My latest just came Saturday, an Arkansas Made Dozier Black Widow Caper with African Ironwood scales. This is a lot of knife for the size. Below it is my all time favorite using knife. I've also bought a lot of hand made knives from AG, he used to put out a great newsletter that I would drool over every month (The Cutting Edge, I think).
