ARCLITE and EDC in D2!
OK folks,
I've been tight lipped about this one, but I had to. AG RUSSELL asked us to make the EDC and the ARCLITE in one of his favorite steels, D2. Naturally, this is an exclusive to AG RUSSELL KNIVES, and he wanted us to remain silent until he broke the news. Well, AG has done his first mailing regarding the knives. It was announced first to members of his AG RUSSELL KNIFE COLLECTOR'S CLUB, but it will be avialible to the general public shortly. I will say that the members of the collector's club get a SWEET discount, so ya'll might want to look into joining. AG's site is....

On to the knives! Not only is AG a big fan of D2, the designer of these 2 great knives, Darrel Ralph, is also. Darrel's choice is CRUCIBLE's AIRDI-150 D2. This is a very clean and consistant version of D2 availible from our neighbors @ CRUCIBLE STEEL. We worked with CRUCIBLE and Darrel to refine our heat treatment of AIRDI-150 D2, until everyone was extremely happy. This stuff is awesome. We are are applying a "stonewash finish" on the blades to aid in corrosion resistance. They came out very nice. These knives are truly for the "knifenuts" out there, or should I say, in here
We thank AG for helping make this happen!
