A.G. Russell Knives

For those of you who are tired of the standard black handles on kitchen knives, but weren't really taken with our white corian-like handles, we have created a series with VG-10 Core Damascus blades and solid, natural Cocobolo handles. We have re-designed the shape of the handle to provide a bit more fullness in the palm of the hand.

With edges this thin and this hard, a tiny handful of people who want to see how far they can go with a knife will use these knives in ways that are not intended. The VAST majority of you will be so thrilled with the edge holding and the super thin edges, that make cutting so easy and re-sharpening so quick and slick, we expect you will be sending them as gifts and recommending them to your friends.

The design seems to offer the heavy forged bolsters of traditional European cutlery, but modern technology has made possible the lamination of extraordinary VG-10 at 59-61 Rc. and the beauty of a 16 layer Damascus on each side. This assures greater strength and shock resistance as well as great looks. As with all sharp knives, and ones with natural handle materials, do not put these knives in the dishwasher or in a sink of water. The best way to wash sharp knives is one at a time by hand.
