Sales to U.S. only. PayPal only, no trades. I cover PayPal fees, USPS Priority Shipping, etc.
A) A.G. Russell Modern Barlow Lockback with Black Pearl Scales. Credited to the manufacturer in Springdale, Arkansas, but made in Japan. Bullet shield inlay. Box labelled 110 is included, but I cannot say with certainty that it's still in the original box. Blade open length 5 3/4". Folded closed length 3 1/4". Blade length 2 1/2". New, never carried, but there is some pitting on the back (closely examine photo). Price is $80.
B) A.G. Russell American Bicentennial Folder in Brass. Made in 1975-1976 at the Hen & Rooster factory in Germany, which Russell then owned outright. Coffin-shaped handle embossed with American eagle on one side and 1776-1976 USA on the other. Blade open length 6 1/2". Folded closed length 3 3/4". Blade length 2 7/8". New, never carried. I have no pouch or box to include. Price is $170.
C) A.G. Russell Gents Lockback in Stag. Blade open length 4 7/8". Folded closed length 2 3/4". Blade length 2 1/8". New, never carried. Box included. Price is $100.
D) A.G. Russell Gents Lockback in Black Pearl. Blade open length 4 7/8". Folded closed length 2 3/4". Blade length 2 1/8". New, never carried. Box says "A315BP" and is included. Price is $100.
SOLD E) A.G. Russell CM-5 .44 Magnum Whittler in Ebony Wood. From the A.G. Russell web site: "The .44 Magnum Whittler, released in 1975, is one of only two knives made for the Knife Collector's Club by Hen & Rooster [Germany] and marked A. G. Russell. The other was the CM-4 Baby Barlow. All other KCC knives made by Hen & Rooster were marked with the hen and rooster on the mark side of the main blade and Bertram on the reverse." Other sources say it was 1977, not 1975. Other sources furthermore suggest this knife was also called the Wharncliffe Whittler. The serial number of the KCC collector who originally collected this one was 1420, and that has been stamped on one bolster. It's in a box, but the box does not appear to be the original box. Main blade open length 6 3/8". Folded closed length 3 1/2". Main blade length 2 3/4". Extra blades are 1 1/2" pen and sheepfoot. New, never carried, but there is a significant flaw on the back side of the main blade (see photo). Price is $OLD.
F) A.G. Russell — Hen & Rooster — KCC .300 Savage Canoe CM-9. The ".300 Savage" refers the gauge and manufacturer of the rifle cartridge to which the inlay pays homage, and the "Canoe" refers to the handle shape, which resembles a canoe viewed in profile. Made under the Hen & Rooster brand by Bertram Cutlery, Germany, but during a time period when that factory was, in fact, owned by the now-late American knife entrepreneur A. G. Russell. The serial number of the Knife Collector's Club collector who originally collected this one was 1420, and that has been stamped on the handle side opposite the rifle cartridge inlay. There is a snap to the half-open position. The original box and a leather pouch are included. Blade open length 5 3/8". Folded closed length 3 1/4". Blade length 2 1/8". New, never carried. Price is $110.
SOLD G) A.G. Russell CM-4 Baby Barlow in Ivory. One of only two knives made for the Knife Collector's Club by Hen & Rooster in Germany, but with the tang marks credited to A. G. Russell (who then owned the factory). The other was the CM-5. All other KCC knives made by Hen & Rooster were marked with the hen and rooster on the mark side of the main blade and Bertram on the reverse. The serial number of the KCC collector who originally collected this one was 1420, and that has been stamped on one bolster. Original box included. Blade open length 4 3/8". Folded closed length 2 3/8". Main blade length 1 7/8". Believed to be new, never carried, but, nonetheless, there seem to be scuff marks on the bolsters, and swivel open and closed marks on the tang. Price is $OLD.
