AG Russell background ?

[blaze148]

Hope this is the right place for my question?Can anyone tell me a bit about his history? Was he a maker who then went into the catalog biz?
How is the quality of his own production etc.
Thanks

Somewhere on his website he has a history.

I read it once, interesting.

Here's a link from his website: A Letter from A. G. Russell

His knives are rock-solid. I just received his Frame-lock Spear Point. It is acutually being converted to tip-up by STR. I swear A.G. Russell must be in good terms with either Camillus or Darrel Ralph because the quality is so similar. He also has A.G. Russell exclusive Camillus. Anyways, the Frame-lock isn't my first knife from him. I have been satisfied with his products.

AG is a great guy. He has been known to read this forum and respond. He has contributed knives for Cliff Stamp to test to destruction. If you look on knife forums you can find his regular forum.

I bought a Spyderco Delica from A G Russell some years ago and carried it around in my pocket for quite a long time, till the clip broke off. Russell says he will guarantee anything he sells forever, so I called him on it...literally. I don't even recall if he made me send him the broken knife, but he gave me purchase price trade credit for it, which I then used on a Benchmade Leopard. He is a bit pricy, but stands by his word.
