A.G. Russell Knives

"There is a small window of relatively good weather." Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower received these words from his chief meteorologist, advising him of weather conditions during the largest accumulation of force the Germans would encounter during World War II. Nearly 3 million men awaited his order.

Bertram, the maker of the original Hen & Rooster knives, was founded in 1865.

Tony Bose has interpreted a very old pattern called the "Arkansas Hunter". A large folding hunter made as both a slipjoint and a lockback before the 1930s. This design, made by the W. R. Case® took the Blade Magazine 2008 Knife Collaboration of the Year® honors at the 2008 Blade Show held May 30-31 in Atlanta. This is the most recent pattern adapted by Tony and made by Case for those of us who love old-time knives, made really well.

Ka-Bar's history goes back to the Tidioute Cutlery Company, which was founded in Pennsylvania in 1898. Out of the failure of that company, the Union Razor Company was formed in 1902. The name was changed again in 1909 to Union Cutlery Company then moved to Olean, New York in 1910. The Ka-Bar® trademark was introduced in the 1920's and around 1942 the company submitted a Ka-Bar branded knife to the U. S. Marine Corps.

This realistically sized Bowie knife is perfect for the Cowboy Action Shooter, the hunter of large game who needs a multi-purpose camp knife and the man who just likes a full sized 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™.

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.
