A.G. Russell Knives

Shortly after World War II, General Curtis LeMay, then head of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), authorized the creation of a survival kit for crews of the long-range bombers. Requirements were that the knife it contained had to be an effective tool for survival in the wild with the ability to perform a number of functions including field dressing and cleaning fish. A must was that it had to be lightweight.

From the Manufacturer:

Like its big brother, the SEAL Pup has a partially serrated blade that is powder coated in a Tiger Stripe pattern for low-reflection and corrosion resistance. Its lightweight, glass-reinforced Zytel handle features a raised diamond pattern for secure gripping in inclement weather. Includes a multi-mounting tactical Nylon sheath.

For many years, Dietmar Kressler has been acknowledged as the finest maker of hunting and fighting knives in Europe. He is known for being a perfectionist in design and classic style. The partnership between Kressler and Boker® is one made in knifemaker heaven, Europe's greatest knife designer and the most innovative knife manufacturer in Europe. In design of the new Boker Integrance, "integral elegance", Dietmar proves that a rugged knife can still be very stylish.

Hallmark is introducing a new line of traditional hunting knives under the Robert Klaas Kissing Crane brand. Of the three traditional styles available, we have chosen the Custom Hunter the most modern of the three. It is currently available only in a rich golden brown jigged Autumn Bone. Each knife is hand assembled with quality materials and attention to detail.

From the manufacturer:

"With an overall length of 5-1/4" and a blade length of just over 2", this ergonomic design of this knife provides a super secure grip, enhanced by the notched thumb ramp on the blade spine.

The Dozier Arkansas Toothpick is a practical knife with a 3-1/2" blade that is single edged but double ground. You can sharpen the clip portion of the swedge if you are willing to risk the various double edged laws around the country. The ergonomic shape of the handle has been carefully thought out by the maker and offers total control of the knife blade and point.

Rick Schuchmann calls his business "Schuchmann Cutlery and Replicas" or SCAR. He is a buyer for the German chemical giant Siemans, lives in Ohio and has been making knives since 1997. He has been making the Scagel replicas since about 2000. You can judge his progress for yourself.

Curly Zebrawood is a new handle material for Case®. It is a beautiful wood that is so named because of the zebra-like stripes that run through it. It is a heavy hardwood with a rather coarse texture and a wavy or "curly" pattern. This wood is not often used in production knife handles because of the difficulty of working with it. It has historically been used for veneer for custom furniture and furniture trim and inlays. It is very difficult to plane or machine. The wood that Case® has chosen for this series has a tight pattern with beautiful colors.

In my search for the lightest knife that could really be practical, I arrived at what we are calling the Ringer. There's not much to these skeletonized designs, most of the steel is cut away to save weight and make the knives easy to control. About all that's left is the cutting power and utility.

If you want the perfect personal paring knife, about the best caping knife you can buy, or just a really great whittling knife, then you are looking at what you need.

Remington has created an entire line of Italian made knives, including a line of hunters, both fixed blade and folders, and a line of both fixed blade and folding tacticals. The look is completely new. Certainly not your daddy's Remington knife.

If you have been a customer very long, you have seen knives from Randy Lee before. He is one of the most popular knifemakers we have featured. Randy made his first knife in a high school shop class. He remained fascinated and years later, after studying with local makers, he decided to get serious and buy the proper equipment; this was 1979. It was 1988, however, before he attended his first knife show. Since then he has attended about six shows a year. A serious hunter, Randy field tests all of his designs. He wants them to work as well as they look. He is fortunate to have a wife who can make and decorate such fine sheaths. His sheaths are definitely a step above what is typical on knives of this price level.
