AG Russell Carving Jackknife

Does anybody have one? If so, how do you like it? Is it like most multi-tools--ok doing everything, great at nothing? Is it better than a good, non-specialized pocket knife?

Do you mean the Flexcut model? I haven't had that one yet, but here's a thread on these from a while back:

I've found that a good sheepfoot blade combined with a spay will do 99% of what I need. The Carvin' Jack is a luxury I'll be able to afford some day.

Hope this helps.

Yes, thanks for that link. I had not seen that one before and it does answers some of my questions.

In addition to the 'carvin' jack' mentioned in this thread, A.G. also offers (or offered) a specialized congress knife for carvers - I think it was inspired by a top-notch decoy carver and made by Boker. As I recall, it was a sweet looking knife....
