A.G. Russell Knives

When you first look at the Get-A-Way Driver you may ask "Why?" Once you have carried it for a few days, you will wonder how in the world you ever got along without it. This is a compact screwdriver that functions vertically or you can change the position of the bit to create an angle driver.

The sleek, natural look of Barry Gallagher's Glide Lock from Columbia River Knife & Tool® depends on two very modern technologies.

All knives in this series are equipped with clip options that allow four-position carry on belts or webbing--tip up, tip down, left or right. (Caution: These knives are not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry.)

After the success of CRKT's M16 Special Forces series, they received requests from professional knife users in the military and law enforcement for the larger "Big Dog" size with a more versatile blade shape. CRKT talked to the designer of the series, retired Sergeant Major and Knifemakers' Guild member Kit Carson, and the M21™ special forces series is the result.

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.

The CRKT Convergence was designed by award winning custom knifemaker Aaron Frederick and introduced in 2004. The locking mechanism is unusual enough that CRKT finally gave up on producing it. After removing the knife from their line, CRKT offered the remaining stock to A. G. Russell Knives. A wonderful opportunity for our customers.

The Slide Sharp uses a unique system of injection molded nylon guides to hold the knife edge at the specific angle required for optimum sharpening. A hardwood base holds a porcelain sharpening rod. Simply insert the rod in the base, slide a return spring over it, select the sharpening guide needed for your knife, and add the cap. Then pull your blade through the sharpening guide slot pressing down lightly. The return spring pops the guide up again for the next stroke. Repeat the same action as needed in the opposite slot, sharpening both sides of the blade equally, or as needed.

Since we introduced the Folding Sting in 2004, there have been so many requests to bring back the original that we went searching for a company that could follow the original design at an affordable price. Columbia River was the perfect choice.
