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

I purchased a Chute Knife Second. Well, I am afraid I have quite taken advantage of ya'll. This knife, which we called a jump knife back in my day, is flawless. There is not a blemish on either the blade, or the hilt. I can not determine why this knife was sold as a second. I am quite happy with it. Rating 10/10 Walter W. Madison, MS
