A.G. Russell Knives

The rich amber hue of the handle on this knife allows the natural beauty of the jigged bone to take center stage. Using chrome vanadium steel for the blade, known for their edge-holding ability and easy sharpening, the Canoe is perfect for everyday use.

Evidence indicates that beer has been brewed in Germany since around 800 B.C. and by the second century, it was being traded commercially. In 1516, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria enacted the Reinheitsgebot, or the “Purity Law,” which regulated the brewing of beer. The town of Solingen, known as the cutlery center of Germany, also enacted strict laws for the manufacture of knives and shears. While Boker is not quite as “aged” as the brewing industry, the same quality standards apply.

Since 1985, Böker has offered a yearly Damascus Collector's folder. The knives have ranged in style from traditional to gentleman's tactical. For 2010, they have chosen to work with the traditional Böker Canoe.

Over the last few years, we have offered several exclusive models from Canal Street Cutlery® with different handle materials, both natural and manmade. This is the first time we have offered a Canal Street knife with Mother-of-Pearl handle scales. It is gorgeous, premium pearl. We have chosen Canal Street's Cannitler, a medium sized Canoe, configured as a Whittler.

Mica Pearl, a unique resin based handle material, was developed to be an alternative to Celluloid. It is 100% stable, it will not burn or change color with age. Each color is developed in an atmospherically controlled environment, poured and controlled so each handle scale pattern is unique with a blend of black, gold and white.

The Chuck Buck/A.G. Russell Signature knife will be limited to a total of 500 pieces of signed and serial numbered knives – 250 with Black Lip Pearl and 250 with India Stag.

This series of Boker® traditional folding knives is dedicated to the famous Appaloosa horse. The Appaloosa was introduced to Mexico by the Spanish in the 1500s and spread throughout North America. Known for their incredible strength and stamina, they can be recognized by their unique coloring - various shades of brown and white, in irregular spots. This coloration is the inspiration for the bone scales on these knives.
