A. G. Russell Knives

From the age of nine I made homemade knives until I was about twenty four when I began to make handmade knives, crude but no longer homemade. A few years later, I had met and learned from makers like R. W. Loveless and R. L. Dozier. I made knives until the mid 1970s but today seldom make a knife a year. However I do have very talented makers in the United States and Japan who make knives that I am proud to put my name on. I design them and have them made to our standards.

A. G. Russell™ Shopmade® Chute Knife

In the late 1960s, I designed a knife for the pilots in Vietnam. By 1972, we were producing this knife in our newly aquired Morseth knife company which I purchased in 1970 from Harry Morseth's son Gordon after Harry's death. I hired a very young Bob Dozier to move the Morseth shop to Springdale, Arkansas where we made Morseth® knives until early 2000.

A. G. Russell Gent's Hunter

The Gent's Hunter is a design that we have made for more than 20 years. This version is also handmade in the U.S.A. with ATS-34 blades at 60-62 Rc. It features a wider hilt of nickel-silver, stainless screws and a tapered tang.
