July 2026 Letter

July 2026

Dear Friend,

    You will find a significant difference in this Fall 2026 issue of the A.G. Russell™ Catalog of Knives. More than likely, you will already have seen the information about Sam & Bridgette Roddy's Natural State Knife Show on the back cover, since that is where your address is. My intention is to make everyone who is one of our customers, no matter what part of the country you live in, very aware of this 5th Annual Show. It is a show for handmade knifemakers and the companies who provide knifemaking materials for those makers.

    This is a small show just up the highway from our offices and showroom, at the Embassy Suites Hotel. The dates this year are July 31 and August 1. This is a small show with a total of about 115 tables. Many of the top makers in the country will be exhibiting.

    The second thing that is very different is in the last 10 pages. For the knives on those pages, we have continued the Special Customer Loyalty discount that we included in our special Buyer Appreciation catalog in April of this year. The knives we have included here are knives that have been discontinued by the brand or by A.G. Russell, with a small quantity still on our shelves. We need to clear the space for other items and what better way to do that than to offer special prices to our loyal friends.

All the best,

Goldie Russell, president
A.G. Russell Knives
