AG Russell

Post by bkazz5 »

I picked this AG Russell up at a local gun show. My first AG Russell so I know very little about the knife. Seems like a very quality knife and it’s big at over 5 inches closed. Snaps hard open and shut. Nice stag. Per the stamp it is made in Germany 1991. If anyone can provide any other info about this knife, I look forward to your replies.

You hardly ever get a bargain from Russell but you can count on the item being of good quality. I had one of his China knives recently and if it hadn't been stamped 'China' I would have never known.

Thanks. I woudl agree with you, IMO it is a quality made knife. Were AG Russell knives, such as the one above, made in mass quantities?

I'm not sure about the answer to your question. My suggestion would be that you call them and discuss. I have talked to them a time or two and they seem to be customer friendly on the phone.

I have the complete series of A.G.s annual Texas Ranger knives which, excepting the very first year, are made in China. The attention to quality, to F&F, is obvious. Don't know about any future collectability but each one so far is a rock solid user with a bit of dash.

Yes Sir QS, I would have to agree with you. The Swell center is a beast of its own proportions and yet very refined. A few years back I picked up a Monkey Wood of this style from IKC, Very sweet indeed. AG does a fine service with the QA. ::tu:: BH
