Welcome to A.G. Russell Knives

“Being a martial arts instructor (PMA Fayetteville, AR) and blade enthusiast, AG Russell and their patient, helpful staff have made them a one stop-shop, for anything blade related, even cleaning products for my sword collection. I've only been an AR resident for three or so years, but finding the AG Russell Store all but across the road, is a blade enthusiasts' dream come true. You guys keep doing what you're doing. I'll never shop for knives in any chain retail store, so long as your doors stay open. Thank you. ”

“AG Russell Damascus Stilleto folder with Sandalwood Scales - This knife exceeded expectations in ergonomics, and operation. Like many others, the only hesistation was, its made in China. However, these are manufactured by hard working folks, not the government, CCP, or PLA. Manufacturing in China makes this knife affordable. The blade steel is good, heat treatment is as important as the choice of steel in my opinion, generally. The Damascus pattern is beautiful, the sandalwood scales are good, The pocket clip is not a deep carry design, which is just fine. It is a liitle tight, sticking a very thin plastic shim under it will loosen it up some over time. The detent is absolutely solid, I have cut myself before with other flippers, reaching for back pocket carry, because of weak detents. My only complaint is not buying one earlier. This kinfe is a gem, the late Mr. Russell was a very thoughtful and clever designer, and very much missed. The video on the website was very well produced by the way. My thanks go out to each and every employee at AG Russell knives, and the talented folks in the factory. Razor sharp out of the box. Changes: Just more options for handle scale materials, in G-10 and/or micarta. A version in D2 steel or a CPM class stainless steel, S45VN and M390 are personal favorites. Of course, keep the current damascus offering. Rating: 10/10 ”
