Lightly used and sharpened only once, here's one A.G. Russell's finest creations.
The knife has a 4-1/8" drop point blade of Japanese San Mai steel with a core of VG-10 at 59-61 Rc. supported by a softer stainless on each side.
Designed to skin any animal you have the patience to skin. There is a tiny choil at the back of the sharpened edge that allows the entire edge to be sharpened. The hilt is quite trim, just long enough to protect your hand from the edge, yet not long enough to get in the way when you are doing delicate work.
The weight of the butt brings the balance point back onto the handle about an inch from the blade, putting more weight in your hand. This gives the blade a feather touch so you have total control of the edge and the point.
The handle itself is slim at the front, with a swell in the center and a flare at the butt for comfort and control. Measures 8-1/2" tip to butt and weighs about 6.5 oz.
Made in Japan, with handle scales of Desert Ironwood added in the Russell shop in Rogers, Arkansas. Includes a high quality leather sheath handmade in the U.S.A.
Retails for $325. Yours for $100, plus shipping.
