Very sad news for all knife people. I met him in his store once. He was a real gentleman. He will be sorely missed.

Oh my my. Very sad news. A gentleman in the first order all the way.

My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.

A most respected member of the knife community, and a complete gentleman from the old school of gentlemanly ways.

I met the man only a couple of times, but I cherish the memories.

Following is a picture of Mr. Russell holding my own well-used Acies.

RIP Mr. Russell - I will miss you much.

AG was quite a man. Always enjoyed listening to his perspective. Illuminating.
Time to rest AG. To Goldie, my sincere condolences.

Very sad news indeed. Had the pleasure of talking to him a few times over the years and he was a wonderful guy.

My thoughts are with his loved ones.
