A.G. Russell Knives

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.

The Complicity is one of two models being produced by Canadian knifemaker Laurent Doussot under the Skalja™ trademark.

During the time when a cutting tool was some form of stone, volcanic glass (obsidian) was the most prized of all the materials available. It enabled blades to be made that would cut better than any other material. Obsidian was so prized that men would travel hundreds of miles on foot to gather enough for a supply of tools. Landon Selby, the expert craftsman who has made our obsidian knives for years, uses the same materials and the same techniques to create all the models we offer.

The name Alary fits George Sessions' design for Timberline's® newest little folder. Webster's dictionary defines alary as an adjective "having or as if having wings; as in the winged feet of Mercury". The lines of both the handle and the blade will make you think of wings. The locking system is a frame lock with the Sessions De-locker.
