“Congratulations on the design and manufacture of the Black Dragon.  I have been looking for a long time for a folder (EDC) that had a hunting, fighting, work size blade that did not weigh too much.  A lot to ask of a blade of this size.  But, you did it.  It is thin but strong. Disappears in the pocket but does not crowd it.  This is a serious blade in a serious package at a price point that is terrific. Rating: 10/10. ”

“In the latest version of the A.G. Russell Knife catalog (Spring 2019) I was very happy to read that A.G.’s new designs will continue to be released into the near future. I’ve loved A.G. Russell knives for decades, from the first Sting that I used to skin small game in Africa as a boy to the latest knife I purchased, the Wharncliffe Lockback. I have one humble request as you bring these new designs to fruition: I’m left handed, and there are very few left handed knives on the market today for southpaw knife enthusiasts. A.G. once spoke to me in the shop about this and he assured me that many of his new designs would accommodate left handed carriers, and then he showed me the prototype for the Folding Gents Hunter (which I later bought once it was released!) I just ask that you keep us lefties in mind as you move forward with his designs. I’m loving the look of the new Sodbuster with the reversible pocket clip. Thanks for all you do to take exceptional care of your customers! ”
