Customer Testimonials
A.G. Russell FeatherLite One-Hand Knife - This 3" folder combined with the neck sheath makes for the most common sense neck knife on the planet. When worn, it's half the length (4 1/2") of a 3" fixed blade and weighs less than most. Disappears under a t shirt. The sheath is secure but still easy in/out. Blade shape is perfect for everyday use. Wearing sweats with no pockets around the house, I no longer have to stop and 'go get' a knife; I sling this when I wake up and wear it all day long. One handed easy open/close. The Aus 8A blade came sharp and is fine for an EDC. This knife has done for me what Ruger did with my guns...I'm not a brand snob anymore. What works, works. Changes: The plastic thumb stud works well, but a metal one would up perceived value overall. Rating: 10/10

A.G. Russell Power Ball C32 Folder - Fantastic knife, D2 is one of my preferred steels, love the wood handle. Really like the ball bearing opening. The clip needs to be heavier duty, it easily bends when I just take it out of my pocket. You need to upgrade the clip. I have to rebend it regularly.

Changes: Upgrade the clip

AGLB-C52BKX 3" AG Russell folder - I LOVE my little folder. It is the handiest little knife I've ever owned. My dad gave me my first folding knife when I was 5 and I have owned hundreds of folding knives and have even created my own out of used parts. My Dad was in the CCs when he was a young man and learned blacksmithing and always made knives. This little knife is so handy and anyone I show it to wants to know if they can buy one. It is perfectly made and good looking with a blade that can be sharpened and stay sharp for a good long while. I would love to be able to get some more of these knives to give as gifts.

K87C-17S AG Russell One Hand Knife-Stag Handle - Beautiful knife, handy size. But…One Hand???? Yes, it can be done but much more difficult to do with one hand than a liner lock for example. Misleading name. [I wish it had] easier one-hand operation. 8/10

CRKT Redemption - Just received it, lived it, and love it! Your catalog lists it as 4.25" closed. As I'm sure you've been told many times mine measures 5.125" closed. Thanks for the absolutely Terrific knife! Cheers to AG and CRKT. Rating: 10/10.

Bird and trout knife - Love this little knife! I like the idea of the sheath, but I like a leather sheath better. Do you folks know where I can purchase one? Rating: 10/10

A.G. Russell FeatherLite One-Hand Knife - I find this the 1st neck carry worth a darn. Light, less politically incorrect than most and much easier to deploy than needing to dig thru pockets. In police work a knife becomes your most used tool. Harder to lose than pocket carry knife.

I own and use several Doziers, and have wanted one of this model for years. I finally ordered one with Coral Rucarta Scales (Dozier Straight Personal with Coral Rucarta Handle Scales DK-PESCR). The one I received was of typical high Dozier quality, and I really like the Coral Rucarta, but I was surprised that the scales did not include the thumb notches (not sure of correct term but referring to the ground depressions in the sides of the handle scales themselves as shown in the catalog pictures of all the Straight Personal handle choices}. Changes: This is a feature I would have really liked on this knife. Has it been discontinued? If so, I suggest bringing it back. If this is not possible, I suggest updating pictures or stating in the description that it is no longer available. Note: The 8 rating below instead of a 10 is based solely on this discrepancy between what was expected and what was provided. The Dozier workmanship is, as usual, excellent! Rating: 8/10

1st impressions: this CRKT Stylus is going to be in my pocket when I'm in the casket. I am truely impressed with the build quality and it is stout. Out of the box it is razor sharp with an impeccable finish. And the weight is just right. I still have my very first folder from 65 years ago and I love this one. Perfect for my trout keepers. Dang! This Stylus is nice. Changes: The launch spring is bit strong but I prefer it that way. If your hands are wet you can forget trying to open it with one hand. On spring tension for example: The launch mechanisms on my Benchmade folders are way too weak and make me a bit nervous so I keep them in a sheath. Rating: 10/10

A.G. Russell V ceramic sharpener - A.G. knew what he was talking about when he promoted this product. A few swipes on the diamond rods and then than a few on the ceramic rods produced a razor edge on my CM154 blade in no time. I have had other sharpeners such as Lansky and Work Sharp. The V sharpener did more with better results in less time. I will have to admit I was disappointed when I opened the box to find the toggle holding the ceramic rods in the base split in half. Some wood glue and changing the screw type from a cone shaped wood screw to a screw with a flat head made the product perfect again. I will be buying the field version for my chuck box and more to give away as gifts. I have been using and sharpening knives for 50 years. I am very impressed with this product. 10/10

An order had failed to arrive at my home. I sent an email to the company about it last week, and Sonia responded at once. Sonia was very courteous and friendly when I spoke to her, and the replacement knife was shipped quickly, arriving today. This was another instance of outstanding customer service from A. G. Russell.

I have been a customer of both the knife and men's for years. This company cares more about their customers than any other company that I have dealt with online.

Customer since 70's I met AG one time in 77 at gun show San Antonio. He is a real American and very admired business man. Have followed Knives and Russells for Men as long as you have been around. Have always enjoyed remembrances of stories. Haven't been to your store yet but will get there sometime, did enjoy online store tour, thanks. Have collected knives since 1947 and have a few of your knives AG Russell brand. Stay strong and Prosperous.

I was given a White River Sendero Classic with Oliver drab canvass micarta handle for Christmas. Comments: This is a beautiful piece. The sheath is fantastic. It comes in an impressive presentation box. Since it was offered through A G Russell, we believed it would be top drawer. Comment: The blade length to thickness makes this knife less than optimal for an all around hunting knife. The blade is about 1/6th inch thick. I’m a hunter and knife collector. This blade is only meant for light work in the field. I would suggest a thicker blade at this price point Changes: Make the blade thicker. Rating: 2/10.

Being a martial arts instructor (PMA Fayetteville, AR) and blade enthusiast, AG Russell and their patient, helpful staff have made them a one stop-shop, for anything blade related, even cleaning products for my sword collection. I've only been an AR resident for three or so years, but finding the AG Russell Store all but across the road, is a blade enthusiasts' dream come true. You guys keep doing what you're doing. I'll never shop for knives in any chain retail store, so long as your doors stay open. Thank you.

AG Russell Damascus Stilleto folder with Sandalwood Scales - This knife exceeded expectations in ergonomics, and operation. Like many others, the only hesistation was, its made in China. However, these are manufactured by hard working folks, not the government, CCP, or PLA. Manufacturing in China makes this knife affordable. The blade steel is good, heat treatment is as important as the choice of steel in my opinion, generally. The Damascus pattern is beautiful, the sandalwood scales are good, The pocket clip is not a deep carry design, which is just fine. It is a liitle tight, sticking a very thin plastic shim under it will loosen it up some over time. The detent is absolutely solid, I have cut myself before with other flippers, reaching for back pocket carry, because of weak detents. My only complaint is not buying one earlier. This kinfe is a gem, the late Mr. Russell was a very thoughtful and clever designer, and very much missed. The video on the website was very well produced by the way. My thanks go out to each and every employee at AG Russell knives, and the talented folks in the factory. Razor sharp out of the box. Changes: Just more options for handle scale materials, in G-10 and/or micarta. A version in D2 steel or a CPM class stainless steel, S45VN and M390 are personal favorites. Of course, keep the current damascus offering. Rating: 10/10
