These are some of the A.G. Russell™ One Hand Knives that I have found in A.G.'s office. They are part of those original knives from the late 1980s and early 1990s where the blade and handle were made in Japan and assembled in our shop in Northwest Arkansas. In those early days, most of the assembly work was done by A.G. himself. Phil Gibbs has checked each of these to assure that the locking mechanism works smoothly, adjusting where needed.
The handle, machined from a solid piece of stainless spring steel, works with the blade to create an unusual locking system. This system, and the thumb stud on both sides of the blade, allows the knife to be closed or opened one handed using either hand. This knife, as produced by A.G. Russell Knives, is unique because it is so difficult to make and have it function well.
The 3-1⁄8" blades are Japanese AUS-8 at 57-59 Rc. Measures 3-7⁄8" closed. Weighs approximately 2.4 oz. depending on the blade. After over three decades, this knife is still unique.

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
