AG Russell

Someone sent me this AG Russell. A solid knife, but they didn't like the stock look.

I removed the covers, and the caps. New covers are amber stag, and rat-tail bolsters. Kinda like it!

Definitely a better look imho.

Well I bet they like it now !!! Very nice work !!!

I had one of those. Won it on Collector Knives Forum. Very, very well made. F&F was the best I've ever had. They came with either that Amber Jigged bone or Smooth White bone and a Wharncliffe blade or a Zulu Spear blade. $59.95 in A.G.'s catalog. Slick operator.

Copied from the online catalog:
"We have taken a very old handle pattern and added a Wharncliffe blade made as the original designer intended. The blade measures fifty percent thicker than most other Wharncliffe blades and tapers to the edge and to the point. With a straight cutting edge and a needle point, the Wharncliffe blade works beautifully for digging a splinter out of your finger, cutting an article from the newspaper or making a fuzz stick.
Using the same handle, we have inserted a second style blade, our zulu spear patterned after a 1920s Schrade blade; basically a droppoint with a strong cut swedge to which we have added a double pull. As with all our slip joint folders, before putting this knife into production, the prototypes were mechanically opened and closed over 300,000 times. I do not want you to ever have to experience a broken spring.
The blades, at just under 3" (a legal length nearly anywhere), are Swedish 12C27 stainless at 56-58 Rc. with a satin finish. The bolsters, liners and Norman shield are all of 400 series stainless steel. Today, the knives are available in only smooth white bone and amber jigged bone. If our customers like the knife, you will be seeing it in other handle materials. This knife is designed for pocket carry so we have not designed a belt pouch for it. Measures just 3-5/8" closed and weighs 2.9 oz. Made in China."

Really nice job Glenn - she's real purdy!

Jerry - you mean to tell me that there are knife forums other than AAPK?

Yeah, Tom. I'm a'feared it's so. I felt kind of guilty winning it because I hardly ever went there. I ended up swapping it off because I just couldn't get past that "C" word on it. (Kind of hypocritical because I've since purchased a handful of cheap knives with the "C" word on them. Feel kind of guilty about that too.)
