CRKT Get-A-Way Driver

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.

Keith Murr Hunter with Ram's Horn

There are lots of knifemakers making handmade knives in their own shop, some just set up in their garage or a small outbuilding, and some with fine well equipped shops. Those who are making knives at the quality level demanded by our customers is much smaller. Finding makers who are producing the quality and can supply enough pieces for us to include in an A. G. Russell? catalog is rare.

Boker Plus Armed Forces Small Spearpoint Folder

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. Designed for extreme conditions, this folder can stand up to just about anything.

SOG Tigershark Elite

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."

Mcusta® Tsukiyono Usagi Folder

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.

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

Blue Steel Damascus Traditional Japanese Hunter with Cocobolo Handles

Blue Steel refers to a non-stainless high carbon tool steel produced by the Japanese Steel Maker Hitachi Metals. It is commonly used in woodworking tools and knives. The name simply refers to the color of the paper the steel is wrapped in when delivered from the manufacturer. The paper represents a coding system to identify the steel. The carbon content is about 1.1%, with 0.2-0.3% Manganese and 0.1-.02% silicon and also contains molybdenum and vanadium.

Leatherman® 25th Anniversary Wave

The Leatherman® WAVE has been one of the best of the pocket tools. Leatherman has chosen it to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the company. The features are the same, but this one is a little dressed-up. The entire tool is polished to a mirror finish and includes Tim Leatherman's signature and the 25th Anniversary crest.

SOG Tigershark Elite

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."

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. The quality of Donnelly's work approaches the level of Devin Thomas and he is quickly gaining recognition in the knife world.

A. G. Russell™ Hunter Scalpel

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.

A. G. Russell™ One-Hand™ Knife in ZDP-189 or CPM-154

The A.G. Russell One Hand Knife^™ has been our best selling knife since the first ones were shipped in 1988. The handle, which is machined from a piece of solid stainless spring steel, works in conjunction with the blade to create an unusual locking system.

As a better match for the Cocobolo handles of our new kitchen knives, we have constructed our wood knife block from poplar wood and added a black paint.

Fox Cutlery Parong Karambit Hunter

The Karambit is a personal utility knife from Samatra or Java. It is most often seen with a hooked "Tiger Claw" slashing style blade, but Fox Cutlery from Manigo, Italy has recently introduced a hunter version. The blade shape and the size of the blade make it useful for many functions.

SOG® Limited Edition Monogram Trident™ Folder

The SOG® Trident^™ Folder uses SOG's well-proven S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology^™) as a means of opening the blade. With the addition of the Arc-Actuator^™, SOG's newest blade release mechanism, the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. Also making the Trident folder unique is the Groove^™ in the handle, which allows the operator to cut small cord without having to open the blade. It also features Digi-Grip^™, a variable pattern on the handle for a coarser grip.

Fox Cutlery SpyFOX Amboyna

SpyFOX was designed by Maniago, Italy knife manufacturer Fox Cutlery after their successful collaboration on the Spyderco VOLPE. The SpyFOX, an interesting play on the names of the two companies, is being distributed by Fox Cutlery and exhibits the quality in design and workmanship you would expect from both Fox and Spyderco.

SOG® Visionary I and Visionary II

The SOG® Visionary features the same blade shape as the Spec Elite, with the handle of a Mini X-Ray Vision. A great blade in a small package!

Kershaw® R.A.M. Flipper Hawk-Lock® plain edge

At the 2007 Blade Show®, the Kershaw® R.A.M. was voted Most Innovative American Design® by knife manufacturers and other related exhibitors. The locking system is the Hawk-Lock® developed by Grant and Gavin Hawk. It is a very interesting locking system that really functions as both a lock and a minimal assist to the Flipper opening.

William Henry® B4 Pikatti

William Henry Knives has just celebrated their 10th Anniversary. If you were to look at the achievements they have accomplished and the awards they have received, you would expect the company to have been around much longer than ten years. They have grown from a one man shop in 1997 to a studio with 20 employees today and have set a new standard for "production" cutlery.

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 acquired 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.

It was marked on the reverse side of the blade "First Production - 2008". It has become a standard part of the Lone Wolf line.

Ka-Bar Pearl Harbor Army

Ka-Bar® has a long history with the U.S. Armed Forces. The "Ka-Bar knife" or the USMC, was the standard issue knife for our military for most of the 20th century. Through the years, it was made by other companies as well, but was still known as the "Ka-Bar".

Canal Street Cutlery® White Buffalo Muskrat

Mica Pearl is a unique resin based handle material developed by Michael Prater & Co. as an alternative to Celluloid. The material is 100% stable, it will not burn or change color with age. Each color is developed in an atmospherically controlled environment, poured and controlled so each handle scale pattern is unique with a blend of gold, black and white.

Skalja® Complicity with Mother-of-Pearl

The Complicity is one of two models being produced by Canadian knifemaker Laurent Doussot under the Skalja^™ trademark. Laurent was born in France and now lives in Québec. In 1990, while studying Fine Arts, he discovered handmade knives, which became a vehicle for his passion for sculpture and mold making. His knives are inspired by forms found in nature. Since 1992, Laurent's focus has been his knife making. The Skalja^™ brand was introduced in early 2007.

Buck® Alpha Dorado

Wilde Bill Cody has contributed to Buck's Limited Edition Collections since the 1970s. His Native American heritage and knife making skills both contribute to the unique designs. His customized version of a longtime Buck model, the Alpha Dorado^™ is the first of three models to be offered this year with a related theme and is sure to be a hit.

Ka-Bar® Union Cutlery Dog's Head

Ka-Bar's history goes back to the Tidioute Cutlery Company, which was founded in Pennsylvania in 1898. Out of the failure of that company, the Union Razor Company was formed in 1902. The name was changed again in 1909 to Union Cutlery Company then moved to Olean, New York in 1910. The Ka-Bar trademark was introduced in the 1920's and around 1942 the company submited a Ka-Bar branded knife to the U. S. Marine Corps. The Ka-Bar knife became so well known and so important to the company, that in 1952 the company name was changed to Ka-Bar Cutlery, Inc.

CRKT® Lake 111™

Ron Lake's latest breakthrough is the new Lake 111^™ by CRKT®. It is equipped with his patented Lock Back Safety (L.B.S.^™), which allows the user to slide the small L.B.S. button forward to lock the blade both in the open and closed positions. When locked open, it is virtually impossible to accidentally release the blade even during vigorous cutting tasks. For those who are concerned about accidental opening, in pocket or on-belt, simply slide the button forward to lock the knife closed until its next use.

CRKT® Kommer 30-30

You will be blown away by the quality and finish of the new Kommer 30-30 folding hunters. Designed by knifemaker and former Alaskan guide Russ Kommer, these production knives have that special look and slick action of a Kommer custom. They are built of quality materials and finished by hand.

SOG® Arcitech CF

The Arcitech CF is the second in SOG's Platinum line of high-end collectible knives. A 3-1/2" mirror polished San Mai exotic steel (VG-10 core laminated with 420J2 stainless) blade moves smooth as silk and mechanically effortless thanks to SOG?s Arc-Lock and Abalone jeweled thumbstud.

William Henry Breckenridge

The Breckenridge is a fifty piece limited edition using William Henry's striking new Copper Wave Damascus (patent pending) for the blade. This is not an A. G. Russell exclusive, but rather a special edition created for William Henry dealers. We have managed to reserve twenty knives for members of the Knife Collector's Club and expect these will be gone very quickly.

CRKT Horus™

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-117 stealth fighter, too.

CRKT Scarab™

In Ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle represented resurrection and renewal, and was depicted in art and jewelry as a talisman of good fortune. Allen Elishewitz is an acclaimed young Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker who offers a surprising range of custom knives, many with Egyptian-themed names.

CRKT Pazoda™ and Pazoda™ 2

The Pazoda^™ is a stylish frame-lock folder with a 2-5/8" premium 8Cr14MoV blade at 58-59 Rc., gray titanium nitride coated.

CRKT Gallagher Badger®

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.

CRKT® Ashworth Turtle

Boyd Ashworth's custom "Thomas C. Turtle" models won Best Miniature Folder® awards at two consecutive Blade Shows. These innovative little jewels were marked by the use of Boyd's own Damascus steels and exotic materials such as mother-of-pearl, wooly mammoth, fossil walrus, and gold. Consequently, you could spend close to four figures to own one.

Stag and VG-10 Damascus Hunter

For several years, we have purchased knives from Japan with blades made of a laminated steel with a VG-10 core. First it was a seven-piece set of A. G. Russell^™ kitchen knives with white Corian® handles. What an elegant set - and extremely sharp for use in the home or professional kitchen. Then early this year, we introduced two different sizes of a drop point folder with Chinese Quince and White Bone handles. This will be the first hunting knife that we have offered with this blade steel.
