A.G. Russell Knives

Russ Kommer keeps coming up with ideas for high-value knives and tools that every hunter needs. CRKT calls this growing group of products The Kommer Collection. It includes a high-hollow ground skinner, a utility hunting knife and a unique chisel/sharpener.

CRKT® Bez Tine™ Hunter

The Bez Tine Hunter is a classic fixed-blade skinner, with a 3-1/4" blade of 1.4116 high-carbon stainless steel at 55-57 Rc. The blade receives a high hollow grind for top skinning performance, and then is mirror polished for maximum corrosion resistance. At the handle, the full-tang blade is mated to a stainless steel bolster and walnut scales, held with stainless steel pins and meticulously hand-contoured. The handle features four deep finger choils for grip under the slipperiest conditions. A thick custom leather sheath is included. Measures 7-3/8" overall and weighs 6.8 oz. Suggested retail $120.00.

CRKT® PTS™ (Pelvic Tool/Sharpener)

Russ designed the PTS™ (Pelvic Tool/Sharpener) because splitting the pelvic bone when dressing larger animals such as White Tail Deer and Alaskan Moose is difficult with a conventional blade, and may cause damage to the knife as well. The PTS is a high-carbon steel wedge with a chisel edge, which will neatly split the cartilage at the pelvic bone seam aided by the tap of a nearby rock. In addition, we have coated the PTS with a No. 400 diamond grit, creating a useful field sharpener. Use the flat side to touch up hunting knives. The backside has two grooves designed to sharpen fishhooks and arrow broadheads. The tapered, rounded edges are just right to sharpen serrated knife edges, including conventional serrations and CRKT's exclusive Veff™ Serrations. A braided leather thong and a carry pouch complete the package. Suggested Retail $39.99.

CRKT® Brow Tine™ Hunter

The Brow Tine™ Hunter is a traditional drop point hunter with stag handle. The 3" blade is high-carbon 9Cr18 stainless steel at 56-58 Rc. with a mirror finish. There is a pinned stainless steel bolster and the hand-finished stag handles are held by mosaic pins. A tooled leather sheath completes the package. Measures 7-1/4" overall and weighs 4.0 oz. Suggested retail $130.00.
