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 pocket knives, one hand knives, lockbacks, and fixed blade knives and have them made to our standards.

A. G. Russell™ FeatherLite One Hand Knife

You have never seen a knife made with such simplicity and strength. The handle is fiberglass reinforced nylon, molded in one solid piece. It is checkered and shaped, not only to fit your hand with comfort when working, but to also fit your pocket without wearing holes in it.

A. G. Russell™ Laplander Hunter

For some time, I have felt the need for a simple hunting knife made of a high quality blade steel but at a price that is affordable to most. We have been working on the design and production of this model for well over a year.

A. G. Russell™ VG-10 Core Damascus Kitchen Knives

For those of you who are tired of the standard black handles on kitchen knives, but weren't really taken with our white corian-like handles, we have created a series with VG-10 Core Damascus blades and solid, natural Cocobolo handles. We have re-designed the shape of the handle to provide a bit more fullness in the palm of the hand.

A. G. Russell Camp Ax

For about a year and a half in '96-'97, we sold our original "Goose Wing" ax. Sadly, we lost the U.S. maker and have been without until now. Our principal Italian maker is now making it for us.

A. G. Russell Ceramic Sharpener

The ceramic sharpener was invented by Louis Graves. We have always disagreed with Louis about the proper angle for the rods, but in every other way, he really knew what he was doing.

A. G. Russell Field Tweezers

"I have never had a pair of tweezers in my life that was worth a damn. Now I do and I appreciate it very much." Those words were spoken by General Norman Schwarzkopf about these little field tweezers.
