Don't get your hopes up, it wasn't made in 1834, the company was founded then.They didn't make 'stain free' steel back then. Now part of the biggest supplier to the butcher trade.www.dexter-knives.com It's just a good practical knife. The $$$$ are only in your mind .

thanks Robert so true on the SS..
I got a hit from Berard Lavine giving me the scoop on it this was given to
a freind of my and he was wondering about it.

from Berard on Berard's forum.

This 35-246 RUSSELL HUNTER 5" is from the line of six knives Russell-Harrington made for the muzzle-loader re-enactment crowd in the 1980s. First introduced and shown in black & white in the 1984 Gutmann Cutlery Co catalog. Shown in color in the 1988 Gutmann catalog. The Hyde group then owned both Gutmann and Russell-Harrington, but sold Gutmann in the early 1990s. It is not listed on the R-H site so I suppose it has been discontinued.
It's bound to be worth something to somebody

Koval Knives and Texas Knifemakers both carry Russel and Company Green River blades. The ones in the texas knifemakers catalog are all carbon steel but if I remember right Koval has some in stainless offered.
