A.G. Russell Knives

In 1943 there existed two H. Böker companies, one in Solingen, Germany and one in New Jersey. The New Jersey company had been expropriated by the U.S. early in WWI. During WWII the U. S. government ordered production of the new M3 Trench Knife from nine companies.

The team of Boker and Chad Los Baños continue to produce winners. Similar in style to its baby brother the Subcom, the MPT is designed for those of you who prefer a larger blade than the original.

About 20 years ago Col. Applegate premiered his Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting Knife. The first version was handmade by T. J. Yancy in Colorado. This knife has had a long life. When T.

"Today's tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael Martinez, inventor of the Merlin® knife deployment system, didn't start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, "We tested over 400 knives with the Merlin system, and I kept noticing how many knives, even expensive ones, didn't feel right, didn't have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental tactical grips.

Designed to serve our troops during World War II, the Ka-Bar is still doing its job with honors, more than 50 years later. During World War II, combat knives were made by many American knife manufacturers, but Ka-Bar's reputation was so strong that this style knife became known as a "Ka-Bar" no matter who manufactured it.

This knife is the same as the first U.S.M.C. combat knife with more modern blade steel and stamped with U.S. Army. The 7" blade of powder coated 1095 at 56-58 Rc. is available in both plain edge and combination edge. Stacked leather handle, steel butt and guard and leather sheath also stamped U.S. Army.

Fifty years after the Ka-Bar knife gained its reputation during WWII, the name is still one of the most recognized names in the knife industry. Beginning with the Marine Corps Knife, the new owners have begun to update the knives with new materials meant to better fit today's sophisticated knife buyer.

For the past 20 to 40 years Ka-Bar has been in the hands of the world's largest key maker. Alcas, the current owner is dedicated to restoring the Ka-Bar name to the high position it once held in the American Knife World. The Ka-Bar reputation depended on the U.S.M.C. combat knives, which were also made by many knife companies in WWII. The Ka-Bar reputation was so strong that all the knives of this type became referred to by the name Ka-Bar.

Since the early 1940s, the name Ka-Bar has been synonymous with military fighting knife. During WWII, the Ka-Bar knives became so well recognized for their quality and dependability that all knives of this pattern, regardless of who manufactured them, became known as a Ka-Bar. The current owners have updated the materials used and the manufacturing facilities, but the quality and reputation of Ka-Bar has continued on.

Last year, Ka-Bar introduced their very popular 3/4 version of the U.S.M.C. knife of WWII fame. This year they have brought it into the 21st Century. In addition to the black blade and leather handle of the original full sized knife, this year they have made the knife with the Kraton®, rubber-like, handle that has become so popular with hunters. This new knife is available with both the plain edge and the combination serrated and plain edge.

Vietnam was the first war we lost. It was lost because of people in the movie industry and the American media who did everything in their power to bring America and the American troops down.

The end of WWII was marked by the lighting of beacons, ringing of church bells, street parties and bonfires.
