Description
In 1987, A.G. introduced the A.G. Russell™ One Hand Knife™ (model K87). During the rest of the 1980s and through the 1990s, that knife was offered in five different versions. Four were the same size, utilizing the same handle but with different blades, including a General Purpose blade which was the most popular. The fifth was a small version of the General Purpose.
At home, A.G. often worked on his knife designs on our dining room table. After he passed away, I decided to organize all the papers, etc. that were scattered from one end of the table to the other. In additon to other interesting things, I found a drawing of an idea for an A.G. Russell One Hand Knife with a dagger style blade. We started working on this new model in May/June 2019, hoping we could deliver a few before year end. Development and production took a bit longer than we had hoped. We introduced that knife without handle scales in February 2020. We have now received, and checked for quality, a quantity of this knife with stag handle scales and with carbon fiber.
The dagger model utilizes the same handle that we use for all the General Purpose models. It is only the blade that is different. The satin finish dagger style blade is Bohler N690 stainless at 58-60 Rc. The handle, which is machined from a solid piece of stainless spring steel, works in conjunction with the blade to create an unusual locking system. This locking system, and the location of a thumb stud on both sides of the blade, allows the knife to be closed or opened one handed using either the right or left hand. The blade measures 3-1⁄8″ from the front of the handle to the tip of the blade and it measures nearly 7⁄8″ wide at the kick. A.G. designed the knife to have as much blade as we could possibly put into this size handle. Measures 3-7⁄8″ closed. Stag weighs approximately 3.3 oz., carbon fiber 3.0 oz. Made in Italy.
Option A is SOLD OUT.
