Cool EDC's and ARCLITE's in D2!

ARCLITE and EDC in D2!
OK folks,
I've been tight lipped about this one, but I had to. AG RUSSELL asked us to make the EDC and the ARCLITE in one of his favorite steels, D2. Naturally, this is an exclusive to AG RUSSELL KNIVES, and he wanted us to remain silent until he broke the news. Well, AG has done his first mailing regarding the knives. It was announced first to members of his AG RUSSELL KNIFE COLLECTOR'S CLUB, but it will be avialible to the general public shortly. I will say that the members of the collector's club get a SWEET discount, so ya'll might want to look into joining. AG's site is....

www.agrussell.com

On to the knives! Not only is AG a big fan of D2, the designer of these 2 great knives, Darrel Ralph, is also. Darrel's choice is CRUCIBLE's AIRDI-150 D2. This is a very clean and consistant version of D2 availible from our neighbors @ CRUCIBLE STEEL. We worked with CRUCIBLE and Darrel to refine our heat treatment of AIRDI-150 D2, until everyone was extremely happy. This stuff is awesome. We are are applying a "stonewash finish" on the blades to aid in corrosion resistance. They came out very nice. These knives are truly for the "knifenuts" out there, or should I say, in here

We thank AG for helping make this happen!

Will, Can't wait. Just looked at AG's site and joined the collectors club. I didn't see any sign of these. I would get at least 2 of each!
Thanks for the good news...

I think it is fantastic. I ordered two ARCLITES, I was so excited. Is the stock thickness 3/32" on those?

Thanks.

Hey! I'm a member, but never got a mailing! I probably need to go back and check to make sure. I have been holding off on the Arclight since I wasn't too happy with the steel, but now, I MUST have one! Thanks for the heads up!

Are they labeled "D2"? How do you distinguish the D2 from the regular versions?

Cool ARCLITE Comparison

Judging by the Russel pictures and my current ArcLite, the lettering on the knife are different. I've ordered the new one so I'll find out shortly.

D2 is one of my favorite steels. It is nice to this fine knife being combined with this great steel.

Does anyone know how much they are getting for these? I can't find them on AG's site.
