Welcome to A.G. Russell Knives

“Boker Plus Stag Hunter - I loved this knife the minute I held it. It's such a beautifully made and solid thing. I bought it because it is the spitting image of an older Hen & Rooster fixed blade hunter I've had that looks and feels great—but I never felt the H&R steel held its edge very well. But this Boker is 440C, which is a fine steel. A big upgrade.
Changes: The sheath is well-crafted heavy duty leather. The knife slips into it and feels fairly secure. That being said, I prefer sheaths with some kind of positive locking feature such as a snap. It is a quality sheath though, so don't worry about it. Talk Boker into making more like this! Rating: 10/10 ”

“War Eagle Blade Model 42 - The knife is perfect size for my EDC needs. The G10 handle is very nice to look at. However, one of the securing pins on the handle is not flush with the handle and is actually marred creating a small semi sharp obstruction. I tried to tighten the pin into the handle but it would not move. I tried to buff the sharp edge with sand paper and was marginally successful. However the defect is still there, visible and rough to the touch. I notice another pin, nicely counter sunk into the handle, but that pin also appears slightly marred. I find the spine of the blade to be very pronounced. The knife doesn't appear to be that sharp coming out of the box and the tip appears unevenly ground so that will take some re-profiling. Overall I like the knife, it is perfect size for my needs but does have quality control issues as noted.
Changes: I would make the clip reversible for point up carry. I would smooth the spine of the knife, maybe make the thumb stud just a little larger. Rating: 6/10 ”
