A.G. Russell Knives

The C123 Sage represents Spyderco’s 30-year pledge to knife crafting and learnin to make better knives at every available opportunity The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer.

Before the Rockwell tester, the File & Wire mark was used to indicate that the hardness and toughness of a blade had passed the file and wire test. The test consisted of cutting the edge bevel with a new file to test the hardness and then tapping the blade edge through a piece of wire of a known hardness to test the toughness. If the edge was not blunted by the wire, it passed the test and was marked with "File & Wire Tested".

Japanese knifemaker Takeshi Saji makes knives using the very best materials. The White Steel center core of this 6" blade, which provides the cutting edge, is a pure carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness above 60. Each side consists of 11 layer Suminagashi, the Japanese equivalent of Damasteel. This is high-carbon tool steel and must be protected against rust. We have included a bottle of RustFree for that purpose.

This unusual and exquisite gentleman's folder is a collaboration between one of Japan's top makers of handmade folders (Koji Hara) and one of Japan's top knife manufacturers (G. Sakai). The theme is the bamboo plant, one common in Japanese history and culture.

Swiss Army knives are carried in pockets and in belt pouches all over the world. The Swiss Champ is a standard model carried by multitudes for years. It is built in 8 layers with 33 different functions. A bulky yet pocket sized toolbox.

From one of our Japanese suppliers, this folder can be safely clipped to your trousers, belt or other gear, readily accessible when you need it.

For the whittler or the collector, this is a rare opportunity to buy a Richard Rogers Change Blade Knife. The 3-3/4" handle of green bone with mother-of-pearl inlay will accept any of the four furnished blades.

An upgraded version of the original SuperKnife has been introduced. It is the same design with a longer handle and it uses the same replacement blades. The difference is the ease with which the blade can be replaced.
