A.G. Russell Knives

For the past 35 years, I have been designing knives and having them made by makers (both handmade and production) in all parts of the United States as well as in Solingen, Germany, Poland and Seki City, Japan. There have been several dozen companies, large and small, but never have I had another company go from pencil drawing (or ball point on a paper napkin) as fast as our colleagues in Italy. They take my sketch, fax me a formal drawing and on approval make a prototype. On approval of the prototype, they have the knives in production faster than anyone in my experience. When you consider the wonderful quality of their work, the only thing that keeps us from having many, many more models made by them is the really awful exchange rate with the Euro. Yes, they are expensive, but the precision of their work is out of sight.

The ATS has a super fine bead blast finish that is as non-reflective as the etched surface of the Damascus. Both knives have a pocket clip for ease of carry at the top of the pocket, the recurve blade is a noticeable feature. The blades are made using full 1/8" stock and will measure a few thousandth less in the finished condition. The blades are deeply hollow ground to a fine edge and will please you with the way they cut. Weighs 3.1 oz.
