Russells For Men

What an interesting name for a simple, handy little knife you can attach to just about anything. The carabiner style clip will keep it securely attached to vest, backpack, keyring, belt loop or just about anywhere you need to clip it.

There are a handful of custom knifemakers who craft tiny, miniature knives as highly collectible works of art. These are beautiful and functional knives that can be opened, closed, sharpened and used, or placed in your collection of miniature knives.

This is the first authentic recreation since 1940 of Remington's original RS3333 Official Boy Scouts of America pocketknife. It is actually made using some of the original tooling from the Remington Cutlery factory once located in Bridgeport, CT.

Golden Knight is built specifically for A. G. Russell™ with a 2-5/8" drop point blade of black Tungsten DLC coated ZDP-189 at 66-68 Rc., 24k inlaid Koftgari bolsters and interior Mammoth Ivory handle scales.

Viper® is one of the companies operating today that has embraced the concept of "Maniago Quality". They take great pride in being a favorite of knife aficionados worldwide. Taking advantage of the latest technologies, design and production genius, they produce some of the most exquisite pocketknives available.

This very fine knife is elegant enough for the finest restaurant, but won't break the bank.

The 2009 Large Folding Hunter Lockback is the second Texas Ranger knife we have managed since Camillus Cutlery disappeared. I have found a small firm that is able to do better work than Camillus did and at a lower cost, making the quality remarkable and affordable.

The Monarch is one of William Henry's classic models. Its smooth lines and elegant handle shape make a perfect showcase for the exotic handle materials and unusual bolster designs for which William Henry is known.

The original George Washington pen knife is one of the heirlooms on display at Mount Vernon.

This tiny Titanium Lockback Folder is based on the A. G. Russell Ultimate Pen Knife which we introduced mid-year 2003. The Pen Knife is a slip joint and measures only 2" closed. While it is an extremely handy and useful little knife, I saw the need for a knife that is just as thin (to rest comfortably in your pocket) but is a little larger and locks.

Over the years, Buck® has created many limited edition knives based on the popular model 110 Folding Hunter. David Yellowhorse has crafted the handles of the latest, Rising Wisdom, in his traditional style using black jet with a nickel silver inlay of an Indian warrior against a rising moon, and stripes of turquoise, orange spiny oyster, black jet and nickel silver.

Created exclusively for A. G. Russell™ and Russell's for Men™ by Santa Fe Stoneworks, this Kershaw Leek is a stunner. The Leek is an assisted opening knife designed by Cutlery Hall of Fame member Ken Onion. We have asked Santa Fe Stoneworks to take a standard Leek and turn it into something spectacular.

The original A. G. Russell™ SeaMaster™ has a 3-1/4" flat ground blade of ATS-34 high carbon stainless at 59-61 Rc. with serrations on the front half of the blade instead of the back half and an anodized Titanium Handle. Both the blade and the marlin spike are coated with a special coating composed of both Titanium and Aluminum. This is a very tough coating, with a hardness of 80 Rc. and great rust resistance. To build a knife with these over the top materials made the knife rather expensive.

This is a very handy tool. During the Great Depression, knives of this type were commonly carried by men who were on the move, looking for work. These men were called Hobos and their common mode of transportation was a train boxcar. The A. G. Russell™ Boxcar Jack consists of a knife and fork that are held together by slots and pins in the liners and can easily be taken apart, resulting in a separate knife and fork.

The Lonewolf® Defender is a true "Gentlemen's Tactical Knife" with precision fit and finish, one of the toughest locks in the world and a premium quality blade.

In my opinion, the Executive is the perfect Paul Poehlmann design. When given the opportunity to offer a short production run with Black Lip Pearl to our customers, we immediately said yes. The Black Lip Pearl against the simple stainless frame and blade creates an elegant, unobtrusive knife.

H. P. Klötzli has created a very limited series of Christian Wimpff's striking Gentleman's Folder with scrimshawed images of big game animals on Wooly Mammoth Ivory scales exclusively for A. G. Russell™ and Russell's For Men™.

The A.G. Russell One Hand Knife™ has been our best selling knife since the first ones were shipped in 1988. The handle, which is machined from a piece of solid stainless spring steel, works in conjunction with the blade to create an unusual locking system.

Pikatti is an Eskimo word meaning companion, an appropriate name for a small knife that was designed as a faithful tool to help with everyday tasks. Conceived as functional jewelry, the Pikatti is compact and lightweight for daily carry in the pocket or purse, but robust enough for a lifetime of daily use.

Dramatic lines, graceful curves and exquisite materials define William Henry® knives. Wooly Mammoth Ivory is an exclusive handle material for A. G. Russell™ on William Henry knives and we have selected the beautiful creamy interior ivory for our first offering of the William Henry® Persian (B11).

This elegant little penknife is produced by Maserin®, one of the top knife manufacturers in Maniago, Italy. This manufacturing company was established in 1960. The owners, members of the family who founded it, have built this company on the tradition of the artisan blacksmiths who were the reason Maniago became known as the "city of the knives".

CRKT® liked the concept of the pendant/money clip knife and worked with Boyd to create a production Ashworth Turtle™ series. This is a useful knife suited to hundreds of daily tasks from clipping recipes to opening packages or sharpening pencils.

This unusual and exquisite gentleman's folder is a collaboration between one of Japan's top makers of handmade folders (Koji Hara) and one of Japan's top knife manufacturers (G. Sakai). The theme is the bamboo plant, one common in Japanese history and culture.

This folder is our third selection in Mcusta's series of Limited Edition knives based on traditional Japanese Art images. The butterfly is a popular symbol in the Japanese culture. It is often used to represent metamorphosis or transformation and often represents spring. For centuries Japanese family crests have contained designs based on the butterfly.

Gold-lip Pearl makes exquisite handle material for small gentleman's folders like the Paul® Presto. The color of the pearl chosen by Lone Wolf for this limited group of knives has a lot of gold color filled with iridescence tending to green and pink.

The SOG Fusion Muscle Car is designed with an obvious theme in mind, high performance. The wheel that turns with the knife, a fan belt and pulley array, exhaust pipe, racing stripes, hood latch thumbstud, spoilers, competition numbers gear shifter clip, headlights and license plate engraving are all fun reminders of the muscle car era.

This version of the GenTac is a 100 piece limited edition produced exclusively for A. G. Russell™ customers and members of the Knife Collectors Club™. The 3-1/8" blade is Devin Thomas' Dot Matrix stainless Damascus at 59-61 Rc.

This handy little knife is one of the hottest around. If you (or any of your friends) smoke cigars, you will want to have one of these, maybe one in the office, one at home, and one for the car. In the pocket, it is also a money clip.

At the 2007 S.H.O.T. Show, we arranged with Mcusta® to receive a series of Limited Edition versions of this beautiful folder created with precision inlay work in natural wood handles.

No one needs to convince a horse person of the necessity of carrying a hoof-pick. If you ride, you know that it is an absolute must. Is there a finer gift for your horse person? Well, maybe a handmade saddle, in which case may we suggest that you have a pocket put on the saddle for one of these knives.

First fossilized Mammoth Ivory and then Mammoth Tooth became very desirable for knife handles. Over the past few years, we have seen a few handmade knifemakers use Mammoth Bone. This material varies widely in its appearance because bone starts out very absorbent and easily picks up color from the minerals in the soil where it has laid for thousands of years. Unlike ivory, which will usually have color on the surface (bark), Mammoth Bone will have absorbed the color through the entire thickness.

The SOG® Kilowatt is a working theme knife designed for the electrician, homeowner, contractor, or anyone who might need to strip wire in a pinch. Three separate systems address wire from fine multi-strand all the way up to cable.

We produced the Ultimate Pen Knife because a knife this small hasn't been produced for many years and never previously with Titanium scales or VG-10 blade steel. This is the most PC knife you can imagine. It is so small, it will not offend anyone.

There were only 1,800 CM-4's with Ivory scales made. We then produced the Model 104 in five different handle materials (only these remain). These are great knives. You can not get this quality today any place else at these prices. If you want one of the knives made in the original shop of the Bertram Firm, this is an opportunity you will not want to miss.

The Osprey is either a small "Gentleman's" Locking Knife or a Miniature Frontlock knife. In either case, it is a pleasure to handle and to own.

In 1979, Hen & Rooster and A. G. Russell produced the CM-7, the .45 Long Colt which was the first knife designed entirely by me for Hen & Rooster to make.

The Little Brother Barlow, released in 1978, was an original A. G. Russell design produced for the Knife Collector's Club. It had a cartridge inlay of a .219 Zipper, a really hot varmint cartridge of the 1930s. This was a jack knife for dress wear; slim, compact and of the absolute highest quality. Hen & Rooster knives were made years before William Henry appeared and are still the finest traditional pocketknives ever made.

This reduced version of the old-time favorite measures only 4-1/4" closed. Features the traditional yellow delrin handle with inset sharpening stone for fish hooks.

Over the years I have seen many sailors knives, including the one made for us in Japan. Year after year, those knives have proved to be both durable and dependable, but I have long felt that a new, modern design was needed. I have had requests from sailors for a knife with current materials and technical features.

Created exclusively for A. G. Russell and Russell's for Men by Santa Fe Stoneworks, this Kershaw Leek is a stunning knife, one that will give you years of pleasure. The Leek is an assisted opening knife designed by Ken Onion. It was an Onion design produced by Kershaw that started the assisted opening wave in folding knives.

The knife industry in Europe, as well as in Japan, has always centered around one area in each country. In England, it was Sheffield, in Germany, Solingen, in Japan, Seki City and in Italy it has been Maniago. In the recent past, we have seen a decline in quality knife production in England, Germany, the United States and most recently in Japan. There are good companies making quality knives remaining in Germany, Japan and the U. S., but they are few.

An upgraded version of the original SuperKnife has been introduced. It is the same design with a longer handle and it uses the same replacement blades. The difference is the ease with which the blade can be replaced.

The TwoCan is a nice little knife with a carabiner bail for attaching to your key ring. When you open the second blade it is also a really nice pair of snips, the nicest pocket scissors I have seen in over 25 years.

This tiny Titanium Lockback Folder is based on the A. G. Russell Ultimate Pen Knife which we introduced mid-year 2003. The Pen Knife is a slip joint and measures only 2" closed. While it is an extremely handy and useful little knife, I saw the need for a knife that is just as thin (to rest comfortably in your pocket) but is a little larger and locks.

For over 100 years Böker® has been making fine quality knives, including stag handled pocketknives. For most of those years the Böker® brand was overshadowed by the size and advertising power of Henckels and by the sheer elegance of Hen & Rooster. Today, they make the finest knives coming out Solingen, Germany.

Apple Coral has long been used in jewelry and has recently become very popular for knife handles, mostly on high-end folders. The beautiful red orange color is not reproducible in a man-made material and natural materials with a similiar color are seldom available in sizes large enough to make a full handle scale. If you like the way Apple Coral looks on a folder, you might want to obtain one in the near future.

An upgraded version of the original SuperKnife has been introduced. It is the same design with a longer handle and it uses the same replacement blades. The difference is the ease with which the blade can be replaced.

To commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the founding of the Knife Collectors Club™, A.G. has designed the Cattaraugus® Two Blade Whittler. While this is a Reverse Congress pattern, notice that it is like no other Reverse Congress you have seen.
