The A. G. Russell™ Lockback and Mini Lockback with drop point blades have been a strong part of the A. G. Russell™ line of knives for a number of years. Both models are currently available with the standard VG-10 blades.
The VG-10 Damascus blade steel currently being produced in Japan has been so well thought of by customers who purchased the A. G. Russell™ kitchen knives that we decided to try the same steel for blades in both the Lockback and Mini Lockback. The center core of the blade, therefore the cutting edge, is VG-10, a high carbon stainless comparable to ATS-34, at 59-61 Rc. Modern technology has made possible the lamination of this top quality cutting steel with 16 layer stainless damascus to create a beautiful blade with a great cutting edge. The lamination also assures greater strength and shock resistance. Made in Japan.
