Blackie Collins Inspired Lock
We introduced the A.G. Russell Powerball series in 2017. A.G. chose the name Powerball, referring to the fact that the blade rides on a ring of "caged" ball bearings that surround the knife's pivot. This enables the blade to move out of the handle smoothly, creating a manual opening folder that can usually be opened as fast as a spring-assist opening folder.
This new one has a very different aesthetic than previous knives in the series and a very different lock. This is the first that is not a linerlock. The lock was inspired by one designed years ago by Blackie Collins for Gerber Legendary Blades – the Bolt Action Lock.
The 3-1/4" hand-rubbed clip-point blade is D2 at 60-61 Rc. The liners, bolsters and clip are stainless steel. Open frame handle with G10 scales. The Green G10 is accented with a copper color pivot ring. The Blue with a red pivot ring. Clip can be positioned for right or left-handed carry. Measures 4-1/4" closed. Weighs 3.7 oz. Made in China.

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
