My new AG russell Woods walker

It's a great knife for the money! Plus it's something that you can actually use daily.

I bought one years ago when I got my front teeth knocked out (long story). After carrying that one for 5+ years I got one from Scott here on the forums.

His is a nice improvement and adds a nice touch to the knife.

Also, it's a great knife since it fits nicely into the ankle pocket of our ACU's now. Handy and always there. Plus so light it's barely noticable.

the WW is an awesome knife, especially for the price....it is a great little cutter... i also recently purchased one from scott..... i love the mods that he did to it...
 
Back in December, I used my Woodswalker to cut my venison at a business dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Washington D.C. since there wasn't a steak knife with my silverware. Two of my three dining companions have since asked where they can get one and the third is a dweeb.

I was criticized for getting the venison at a steak restaurant but promised that the next time I was at a venison restaurant, I would order the steak.
 
The Woods Walker is on my acquisition short list too.

I recently purchased three kitchen knives from AG. These are from a series with high carbon stainless blades and Pakkawood handles with no bolsters. I got:

- Small paring knife ($13)
- 4-inch cook's knife ($17)
- 6-inch cook's knife ($20)

These make a fine set in the kitchen, but I keep thinking that they'd be dandy in the woods too. The blades are on the thin side, but if I wasn't planning on batonning wood, I think they'd do just about any job I could come up with. I also like the contour which allows sharpening right to the butt end of the edge, and provides an acceptable guard.

It's hard to keep my head clear of my own Rambo daydreams sometimes. It helps if I remember that years and years ago (before I became knife-obsessed) my backpacking knife was an old Chicago knife swiped from the kitchen drawer and sheathed in cardboard and masking tape. Worked great.

question...if this knife is really sharp, how well does the pocket sheath hold up? The sheath looks rather thin and soft.

The sheath outline is made from a single piece of firm leather. The knife-holding portion is made by cutting away the knife outline of the main piece, then stitching on two thinner pieces of leather. It's as sturdy and as prone to cutting as any other full leather sheath would be.

I gave a Woodswalker to my brother years ago. He cleaned many squirrels with it, and still has the knife.

for what they cost, the Woodswalker is probably the best knife A.G. Russell makes.

One of two or three, I'd say. For the same price, my EDC is a Hunters Scalpel. I love the locking hard sheath and blade shape. And for a little more $$, the FeatherLite is an incredible bargain. Definitely the best one-hand-opener in it's price range.
