Welcome to A.G. Russell Knives

“I like stag or bone handles, and have started to collect knives with white bone. It’s my chosen poison of the moment. I recently purchased a couple of the white bone Boker Barlow models you offered and gave one away as a gift. It went over extremely well. The A.G. Russell K-12 One Hand Knife is another of my favorites to take to the steak house. I have it in white bone. The waiter has taken an interest in it so I need to be sure to put it back in my pocket. This note is running too long, but I can’t help but tell you something with respect to carrying a knife to the steak house. We go to a local restaurant every Wednesday night, and have for 20 years or more. A tradition. I was amused to read, or hear Mr. Russell talk about cutting a steak and cleaning his knife in a glass of water. For decades, I have done the same thing, usually cleaning it in my iced tea glass and wiping it with a napkin. It gets some looks, but is fun to do, and effective enough until I get home and clean it with dishwashing detergent. The K12 is the best feeling knife I have ever held in my hand and is my favorite for steak-eating trips. I have also explained to the waiter or waitresses that cutting a steak with a razor sharp knife lets the juice stay in your morsel of meat. The sorry restaurant knives saw instead of slice, and the juice is squished into the plate. A person owes it to himself to make the best of the opportunity. ”

“K12 in G-10. Really like the knife, lightweight and easy to carry. Good for light duty around the house and farm. The spring clip, made of titanium leaves a bit to be desired though. While I'm sure it saves some weight, it did not retain its shape or "spring", making it necessary to check that the knife has not slipped out of the pocket. I also have found it impossible to remove the torx head screw holding the clip on because the Torx impression is not deep enough to apply enough torque. Changes: Maybe a stainless clip would hold up better and retain its spring.
A small cap head screw would work better than the one used.
