Russell Kitchen Knife Help!

[David M]

I found a kitchen knife at garage sale for $1.00. The blade is 9" and the handle is5.5" long made from wood with brass pins. The blade is marked with a snake and banner that reads "don't tread on me" Then it says "USA Russell". and " stain free,high carbon" T2-10. The knife is in very good condition. I know of A G Russell but not Russell. Anyone know anything?

Sounds like an old Dexter Russell, or a newer one with stainless steel. I had an old D. Russell, and ruined it. It could be a Russell Green River works, too, but they're more along the lines of hunting type knives.
