AG RUSSELL - Base Set - 5 Kitchen Knives (see *)
Item #: AGKK-SET55
$255.00
I really liked the kitchen knives that Erika Dahmann made for us in Solingen from the 1970s until she sold the company in the mid-1990s. Our Italian partner is capable of that same quality. Those German knives were bought by a great many of the top handmade knifemakers for use in their own kitchens. These knives, like the ones from Germany, give you the heft, style and quality of traditional forged European style kitchen knives. The blades are a Molybdenum-Vanadium high-carbon stainless that will really hold an edge. The secret of great cutting is not just in the steel but in the way the blades are ground. These are ground VERY thin. They are not the knives to use for chopping bones or frozen food, they are designed to slice and dice all day long as a professional chef would use his favorite slicing knife. Fiberglass reinforced Polypropylene makes the handles dishwasher safe, but water and detergent driven at high speed will dull your blades and the sharp edges will damage your racks and baskets. We recommend that you never put a sharp knife in a dishwasher or let them set in a sink full of water. Because you are buying direct, not through worldwide distribution, these knives are priced at much less than the cost of better known brands. With a better blade steel and better cutting ability, they are priced at about thirty-five percent less than a comparable Henckels knife.

A.G. Russell Knives
From the age of nine I made homemade knives until I was about twenty-four when I began to make handmade knives, crude but no longer made at home. A few years later, I had met and learned from makers like R.W. Loveless and R. L. Dozier. I made knives until the mid 1970s. I don’t make handmade knives anymore, as my hands aren’t what they used to be. However, I do have very talented makers in the United States and Japan who make knives that I am proud to put my name on. I design pocketknives, one hand knives, lockbacks, and fixed blade knives and have them made to our standards. ~A.G. Russell III
