A.G. Russell Knives

Brian Tighe, pronounced "Tie", is a Canadian tool and die maker who has become a huge success as a maker of high-end folding knives and as a designer folders for the newer production houses. In only a very few years, he has leapt to the forefront of those recognized as leaders of the remarkable CNC Custom Knife Movement. Brian has the advantage of being able to use the equipment himself. He is not just a fine designer but a hands-on craftsman as well.

Most of you know that H. P. Klötzli is a Swiss knife dealer, with a multi-generation history in the knife industry, who has morphed into what seems to be the only European version of America's new wave of specialty knife companies. His knives are highly respected for workmanship and materials. His specialty has been sleek, slim, high-end low volume Gentleman's Folders.

This example is very different for Klötzli. Very Tighe, it is a button lock Tactical with sculpted 4-5/8" handles of Titanium and a 3-1/2" leaf shaped blade of ATS-34 at 58-60 Rc. with a fine satin finish. Weighs 3.4 oz. Made in Switzerland.
