A.G. Russell Knives

No one needs to convince a horse person of the necessity of carrying a hoof-pick. If you ride, you know that it is an absolute must. Is there a finer gift for your horse person? Well, maybe a handmade saddle, in which case may we suggest that you have a pocket put on the saddle for one of these knives.

We have improved our American Rider's Knife by doubling the thickness of the hoof-pick to better protect the tender parts of the horse's hoof. You will find other, more subtle changes to make the entire knife more attractive to those who need this type of tool. The 3-3/8" drop point blade is mirror polished BG-42 at 59-61 Rc. and the hoof-pick is 420 at 50-51 Rc. The liners are brass, the bolsters, caps and acorn inlays are nickel silver.

You have a choice of handle material; Ebony Rucarta™, the blackest, deepest color and most durable of all handle materials, or genuine India Stag, (your granddaddy probably called this "bone"). Since India put a ban on stag almost 10 years ago, genuine India stag has become increasingly scarce. About three years ago, the Indian government released all the antler that had been ready to ship when the ban went into effect. That tiny amount has now been absorbed and once again we face problems finding this great handle material. Measures 4-1/8" closed and weighs 5.4 oz. Made in the
U. S. A.
