A.G. Russell Knives

Keith Murr is a Northwest Arkansas maker who worked for a period of time in Bob Dozier's shop.

Designed with the Orange County Choppers logo, the Leek features a Tungsten DLC black-coated 3" blade made from Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel at 57-59 Rc. Whether you are left- or right-handed; open this knife easily by using the thumb stud or finger protrusion.

Kershaw's latest model in the Onion series, that began with the Chive, is the Shallot. The largest yet, it is truly a full size knife. As with the other models, it makes use of Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted ambidextrous opening.

The Explorer was introduced in 2004 and is a functional multi-use knife. The blade is a modified drop point of 440A stainless at 56-58 Rc. with a satin finish. Measuring in a 3", it has enough blade for almost any job you put it to.

The Kalashnikov 101 series are two new models of the only officially licensed Kalashnikov knife series.

The Mark II, first introduced in 1966 during the Vietnam War, is one of the best selling knives of all time. This tactical knife is serialized for collectors.

Matt Connable and the knifemakers at William Henry have created a special small run of only 25 knives pairing interior Mammoth Ivory (exclusive to A. G. Russell™ from William Henry) with a striking heat blued carbon Damascus frame from steel hand-forged by Larry Donnelly.

Boker® has created a very special piece for their 2008 Annual Damascus Series folder. It is a liner locking gentleman's knife designed by well-known Austrian knifemaker Stefan Gobec. The 2-3/4" drop point blade is made of a 300 layer Damascus hand forged by Boker's bladesmith in the Small Pyramid pattern. For the bolsters Boker chose a powder-metal stainless Damascus in the Small Roses pattern. That same material is used for the handle spacer at the butt of the handle.

From the manufacturer:

"With an overall length of 5-1/4" and a blade length of just over 2", this ergonomic design of this knife provides a super secure grip, enhanced by the notched thumb ramp on the blade spine. The lanyard (included) makes it easy to draw the knife, and also works as a handle extension for the pinky.

Since 1922, Queen Cutlery has strived to remain one of the oldest old and most trustworthy American knife companies. They produce mostly traditional patterns of folding and fixed blade knives under their name as well as Schatt & Morgan.

Because Tom knows knives from his life as a meat cutter, professional knife sharpener, and designer of knives and Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) exclusive Veff™ Serrations, he designed one of the most carefully thought-out fixed blades we have ever produced, even though it also has the lowest price of any knife in our catalog. He calls it the Marine Utility Knife (M.U.K.™).

As you know, Barry Gallagher is one of the most acclaimed members of the Knifemakers' Guild, well known for his award-winning high-end custom art knives. So CRKT® had a special challenge in producing Barry's Badger design at a quality level that would satisfy him, while keeping the price low enough to satisfy you.

Study aircraft history, and you find the name Thunderbolt connected both to the P-47 fighter and A-10 fighter-bomber. They are both invariably described as "large, rugged, dependable." Those words also fit Ron Lake's new locking liner design for the Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) Thunderbolt™.

From the Manufacturer:

This model is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walker's contribution to the knife industry with his creation of the LinerLock® and ball bearing detent method of locking open a folding knife.

We have re-designed the Hunter Scalpel making it a miniature of the full sized Deer Hunter, which has a 4" blade. The same Thumbolt® sheath design patented by Blackie Collins and assigned to A. G. Russell™ Knives is used by both these knives as well as the A. G. Russell™ Bird & Trout.

Introduced in 2007, the Bi-Polar was SOG's first dual assisted knife with twin blades. Using SOG's assisted technology, each blade is propelled into the open position once you start the blade moving. For 2008, SOG has removed the V-Cutter, and added a 2-3/8" fully serrated blade. The perfect rescue knife, whether used by law enforcement, emergency medical personnel or the outdoorsman who needs a knife to quickly handle the many daily predicaments he finds himself in. Dual blades, double lockbars and twin safeties all work to lock the blades closed or double lock the blades open. Includes a hardened steel glass beaker on the end of the handle.

While most people associate the Ka-Bar name with military knives, they also produce a complete line of leather-handled hunters.

Kerhaw® continues to produce knives utilizing the Ken Onion SpeedSafe locking system. Inspired by Orange County Choppers Web Bike this new Blur is a souped up version of the original. The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum handle features a raised spider web machined into it with a long-legged spider and the OCC chopper logo to add to the look.

From the Manufacturer:

"In the presence of the revised Tigershark series, one's pulse quickens. It is instantly recognized for its signature handguard and defensive rear point, which are removable for a more streamlined look. But it is also familiar as the largest member of the SEAL series with precise grind lines, scalloped back edge, touch point checkering, and superior ergonomics.

This new limited edition Paul® Perfecto features Red Abalone handle scales and gold plated accents. The natural red abalone shell is hand cut, fit to each knife and then highly polished to bring out the natural character in this rare and exotic material. The stainless steel blade is precision ground, heat treated, tempered, cryogenically frozen and soaked to bring out the maximum performance.

In 2007, Boker, under the new label Boker Plus, began producing a series of knives designed to meet the critical demands of the Armed Forces. For 2008, they have added a spearpoint folder to the line.

From the Manufacturer:

The term "EDC" (Every Day Carry) gets a whole new dimension. With a compact size of just over 2-1/4" (closed), the Keycom can be conveniently carried on the key ring, and offers the ergonomics and functionality we already know from all of Chad Los Banos designs.

The Hyper is the latest addition to the compact series from Chad Los Banos. It combines a sturdy framelock and stainless steel handles featuring G-10 and Grip-Zones for security in almost any condition. The handle, clip and blade are all covered with a titanium coating for fewer glares.

Horus is familiar to Egyptologists as the hawk-headed god, lord of the sky. As Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker Allen Elishewitz developed this design for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®), similar in many ways to his larger custom Creedmore, we saw an aggressive hawk-like character in its crisp edges, facets and choils, hence the Horus™ name. It reminds us of an F-111 stealth fighter, too.

The Oso Sweet is a classic Ken Onion design with a twist - a handle of injection molded glass-filled nylon handle with a distinctive scales pattern. It features the patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system for smooth, easy opening.

The Mini-Trapper with Carved Stag Bone features a 2-3/5" clip point blade and a 2-3/4" spey blade with a mirror finish each made from D2 tool steel at 59-60 Rc. The carved stag bone compliment the nickel silver bolsters and shield and the brass liners.

After the success of our M16 Special Forces series, we received requests from professional knife users in the military and law enforcement for the larger "Big Dog" size with a more versatile blade shape. We talked to the designer of the series, retired Sergeant Major and Knifemakers' Guild member Kit Carson, and the M21™ special forces series is the result.

The newest in the line of Flipper knives from Kershaw is the Skyline, a super slim version that's ideal for pocket carrying.

This newest Trance Drop Point, from Chad Los Banos is designed for hunting chores. It's slightly larger size from the popular Subcom series combines a powerful AUS-8 stainless steel blade and an ergonomically shaped handle.

As part of their line of their classic Rosewood series, Kershaw offers the ultimate in multi-function convenience. The keychain knife features satin finished steel with genuine rosewood inlays.

The rabbit and the moon are often found within the paintings and fables of artists and storytellers in Japan. Artists often paint the moon with rabbits racing across its face. Perhaps the well-known legend has its origin in a Buddhist story in which a rabbit throws himself into the fire to become the food he has been unable to provide to feed a weak old man (really a disguised deity in the Land of Gods). The deity was so impressed by the rabbit's sacrifice that he placed him on the moon so humans would remember his selfless act.

"Pikal" is a word that comes from the Visayan dialect in the Phillipines and means "to rip". It is a martial arts genre accomplished by holding the knife in reverse grip with the sharpened edge facing inward toward the user. The P'Kal knife is a collaboration with Shivworks designed with this in mind.
