A.G. Russell Knives

First fossilized Mammoth Ivory and then Mammoth Tooth became very desirable for knife handles. Over the past few years, we have seen a few handmade knifemakers use Mammoth Bone. This material varies widely in its appearance because bone starts out very absorbent and easily picks up color from the minerals in the soil where it has laid for thousands of years. Unlike ivory, which will usually have color on the surface (bark), Mammoth Bone will have absorbed the color through the entire thickness.

This beautiful and unique version of the William Henry Westcliff was the fifth model that Matt Conable created especially for A. G. Russell customers in 2006.

The B5 Chardonnay is the first ever offering of a William Henry button lock built as an interframe. It was designed and built exclusively for A. G. Russell customers.

This is another very limited and unique Lancet Button Lock from Matt Conable and the crew at William Henry Knives! It is a simple model B10 with Titanium frame that has been dressed up with Mammoth Tooth handle scales and a 2-5/8" drop point blade of Mike Norris Ribbon Lace Damascus.

This is another wonderful, limited edition from the magic fingers in the William Henry shop, this one limited to 50 pieces produced exclusively for members of the Knife Collectors Club™ and A. G. Russell™ customers.

This version of the GenTac is a 100 piece limited edition produced exclusively for A. G. Russell™ customers and members of the Knife Collectors Club™. The 3-1/8" blade is Devin Thomas' Dot Matrix stainless Damascus at 59-61 Rc.

Matt Connable and the knifemakers at William Henry have created a special small run of only 25 knives pairing interior Mammoth Ivory (exclusive to A. G. Russell™ from William Henry) with a striking heat blued carbon Damascus frame from steel hand-forged by Larry Donnelly.

This elegant little jewel of a Gentleman's Folder is made by William Henry® Knives, the all time top recipient of Blade Magazine's Overall Knife of the Year® and Investor Collector Knife of the Year® awards. The Lancet is a slim folder that carries well in a suit pocket but is also right at home clipped to the top of the pocket of your Dockers® or Wranglers® .

This exquisite little William Henry Pikatti is a first for A. G. Russell Knives. The model was introduced in 2006, but this is the first exclusive created for us.

Pikatti is an Eskimo word meaning companion, an appropriate name for a small knife that was designed as a faithful tool to help with everyday tasks. Conceived as functional jewelry, the Pikatti is compact and lightweight for daily carry in the pocket or purse, but robust enough for a lifetime of daily use.

Dramatic lines, graceful curves and exquisite materials define William Henry® knives. Wooly Mammoth Ivory is an exclusive handle material for A. G. Russell™ on William Henry knives and we have selected the beautiful creamy interior ivory for our first offering of the William Henry® Persian (B11).

Fossil Walrus Ivory is difficult to find and it is expensive. These tusks are at least six thousand years old and much of it comes from under the ocean ice where it is collected during a period of only two months each year when the ice melts enough to allow divers access.
