A.G. Russell Vest Pocket Semi-Skinner

Description

A.G. believed that Bob Loveless’s semi-skinner blade design was the best and most practical blade shape of all of those that Bob introduced, more so than the utility (clip point) or the drop point which of course has become the most popular, and most reproduced, of all fixed knife blade shapes. Because of A.G.’s preference for this blade, you will see it used often in the knives he has designed.

The A.G. Russell Vest Pocket Semi-Skinner lockback is our newest example of A.G.’s use of this blade. He chose a top grade blade steel, CPM-S35VN at 60-61 Rc., and a visually striking carbon fiber for the handle scales. The bolsters, liners and inlay are stainless steel. This knife was engineered and ordered before A.G. passed away in October 2018. The plan was to create a small, thin, lightweight lockback folder that could be carried comfortably in the pocket, including a vest or jacket pocket. At only 3-1⁄8″ closed with a handle thickness, at the thickest point, of about 3⁄8″ and weighing only 2.5 oz. A.G. hit his mark. It will certainly feel comfortable being carried in any pocket you choose. Made in China.
