I regret to inform you that Mr. A.G.Russell passed away last Friday. H earned the title of "Mr Knife" even before we ever made a knife. A.G. and I go back a long way and I have many memories to cherish. Our best to Goldie, family and staff. He will be missed.

Very sad news to hear. I know he will be missed by those that are close to him and everyone else that knew him.

Prayers sent to his wife and family.
 
It was an honor to meet him at his store last year. He was a friendly, knowledgeable gentleman who loved to talk knives with anyone who would listen.

R.I.P., Mr Russell.

The A.G. Russell catalog introduced me to more great knives than I could ever even remember. He was a titan of the industry, and will be very missed.

Prayers and thoughts to his family and friends.
 
AG was quite a man. Always enjoyed listening to his perspective. Illuminating.
Time to rest AG. To Goldie, my sincere condolences.

An icon in the knife industry. All I ever heard about him were compliments about how nice a man he was. It's time for another trip to A.G. Russell Knives in Rogers, Arkansas. Prayers for his family.
