A.G. Russell Knives

This series of Böker® traditional folding knives is dedicated to the famous Appaloosa horse. The Appaloosa was introduced to Mexico by the Spanish in the 1500s and spread throughout North America. Known for their incredible strength and stamina, they can be recognized by their unique coloring, various shades of brown and white, in irregular spots. This coloration is the inspiration for the bone scales on these knives.

After more than 100 years Böker added a new trademark to the 140 year old Treebrand® pictograph of a huge Chestnut Tree. The new brand is the Double Tree® - two trees. This symbol represents Böker's highest quality. With extra attention to detail, these knives are the best that Böker's highly trained and motivated staff can produce.

Böker®, today's top German manufacturer of sporting knives, has taken two of their most popular models and added fine Mother-of-Pearl exclusively for members of the Knife Collectors Club™ and A. G. Russell's customers.

Curly Zebrawood is a new handle material for Case®. It is a beautiful wood that is so named because of the zebra-like stripes that run through it. It is a heavy hardwood with a rather coarse texture and a wavy or "curly" pattern. This wood is not often used in production knife handles because of the difficulty of working with it. It has historically been used for veneer for custom furniture and furniture trim and inlays. It is very difficult to plane or machine. The wood that Case® has chosen for this series has a tight pattern with beautiful colors.

2-1/4" clip, 1-5/8" pen and 1-5/8" clip blades. Measures 3-1/2" closed and weighs 2.0 oz. Suggested retail is $28.49.

These Winchester® folders were produced in the early 1990s, at a time when we were selling every Winchester model made with Bone, Stag or Pearl handle scales. A small quantity have been on our shelves since 1996 when they were last in this catalog.

Laurent Doussot, handmade knifemaker and winner of the Best Folder award at the Paris Knife Show last year, has developed a new line of semi-production knives under the mark Skalja.

Please look closely at these knives. I have redesigned all three blades in both knives and think that the new shapes will be as exciting to you as they are to me. In the past 75-100 years, no one has taken the time and trouble to do what we are doing with pocket knives.
