A.G. Russell Shopmade Gold Field Bowie Stag Scales
Item #: SMR-791S
$295.00
About a year before he passed, A.G. reduced the size of the A.G. Russell™ California Bowie to a much smaller version that he called the Gold Field Bowie. His intent was to create a knife that was unobtrusive, would ride comfortably on the belt to be convenient for everyday use.
This version of a Bowie is based on the English-style Bowie knives D.E. (Ed) Henry made in the beginning of the 1960's. Ed Henry was the maker of the finest handmade "English" style Bowies. His guards were so well fitted you could not tell if the knives were machined in one piece or if you were looking at the world's finest solder job. Utilizing modern processes, we have worked to accomplish that same fit with ours.
This new variation of the Gold Field Bowie has handle scales of India Stag that we have had in our inventory for years. The 5-3⁄4" blade is 154-CM at 59-61 Rc. With current technology, we were able to fit the stainless steel guard as well as the ones on Ed's knives. You can hardly tell where the blade ends and the guard begins. Measures 9-1⁄4" from tip to butt. Weighs 4.1 oz. The knife is produced in our shop in Rogers, Arkansas. Includes a handcrafted brown leather sheath.
