I had this knife since a while, so my pics are distributed from Spring to Autumn 


In hand: the knife is enough compact to be carried as an EDC


Let’s try it, some random tasks
















Just a moment of relax in the town…hey, this guy has definitely killed some deers


All in all, a nice knife, heavy, well made, even if a bit to squared on the handle for my taste




Some final jobs




Ciao,
Alfredo
 
Thanks for the pics, Alfredo :)

Looks great and the F&F seems be pretty good... only that recurve in the blade is not really my taste - but for luck, those are different ;)
 
Nice knife, and a nice thread as always Alfredo :thumbup:

I love the lines on this knife! and the micarta looks great as well. Any idea what kind of blade steel this knife is made with?
Edit: turns out google is a remarkable tool :P nice looking knife all the same!
 
I believe that is the A.G. Russell Medium Gunstock Lockback and it looks great. "Traditional" knives usually don't catch my eye, that was until I saw the A.G. Russell Medium Barlow and it reminded me of the knife my dad always carried. I had planned on picking one up soon but now I think I'm going to need the Gunstock as well (if I'm wrong about the model please let me know). Thanks for the great pics! Mr. Russell does an amazing job putting out great knives at so many different price points. I'm carrying his Acies I right now.

I believe the blade steel is 8Cr13MoV.

You're right. It's the Medium Gunstock Lockback in brown rucarta.

Yup, and the cool thing about that one....even if the finish is as good as it is....Mr. Russell felt that it wasn't up to par.

The notch near the bolster indicates that it was a "second quality" knife meaning it was sold at less than full price. But even those are generally so good that the only thing to notice it by is the notch.

A.G. is a lot more of a critic of his own work than anyone else could ever be.
 
Nice knife.

It is a pleasure to see that the knowledge of making trap triggers is still alive, keep it up !.
