A.G. Russell Knives

Limited to 250 pieces

Before this past year, I do not believe a knife was ever marked with the Wrangler® brand. We know the brand as one of the oldest manufacturers of blue jeans, good solid clothing produced for the western working man. Wrangler® Jeans were first made in the 1940s and were designed specifically for rodeo use. Sometime during the past year, the brand's owner licensed a new U. S. knife company to produce Wrangler® knives. At this point there are only a few models in the line. It will be interesting to see what becomes of this.

At the 2007 S.H.O.T. Show, we visited with those involved in the actual knife production and were intrigued with two models, knife and beaded sheath, that are being handmade in America. This large traditional "Bowie" style camp knife features a 7-1/2" blade of 1095 at 57-59 Rc. with an etched antique finish, and a 5-1/2" dark curly maple handle. Each blade is stamped with the maker's initials and marked Wrangler. Measures 13" tip to butt and weighs 11.6 oz. Each handmade leather sheath is beautifully beaded, each one has a different pattern and is created in different colors. Limited to 250 serial numbered knives. Sorry, no choice of serial number.
