1942

found this http://www.guycard.com/wirejack.htm

I think that's the first year of mfg. of that series according to the list on that site. Mine appears to be the latest tang stamp so I'm guessing post war up to 1956. Thanks for digging that up though. He has over 300 variations himself.

I got the idea that Rick is willing to work with the customer. Have you asked him about a knife in that size range?

His answer was YES !!! He would make what I wanted .

I know this may fall into the novelty category but it's one I wanted for a long time. So, when I had a chance at a reasonable price I jumped. The thing to know is that AG Russell puts his heart and soul into every knife that carries his name. In fact this one is a home run just as a pocket knife. It looks and feels as if it was cut out of a single block of steel. The mirror polished blades are insane. It is smooth opening without a half stop and snaps shut with authority. It's stainless and made in Germany. I just may carry it, it's so well made.

Beautiful knife, Alan.

 

[joeradza]

Thanks Rick. It's always nice when they exceed your expectations.

3 spring, no crink ^. Say that to a non-knife person, what'll they think?

I'm glad you're enjoying those, Gary! They're two fine knives. -Lance

BEAUTIES Gary

Thanks, Lance & Paul.

In the dictionary there is a definition for the word 'funky'. I think this says it better. ...

Congrats, Alan, on a couple of very desirable knives! I've seen those wire-frame Schrades before, but don't know anything about them other than their uniqueness (funkiness? ) appeals to me. I've never seen that AG Russell bicentennial knife before, but the metal-handled knives with "bas relief scenes" also catch my fancy.

These two fantastic A.G. Russell knives arrived today. Fit & finish and overall quality are top notch. Very impressed as I've always been with Mr. Russell's knives. The pictures don't do them much justice. They just scream quality when I hold them in my hand.

They both totally rock but the 3 5/8" Gunstock is my favorite.

Congrats on those AG Russell gunstocks, Rick!! I saw those models when paulhilborn posted them recently, and I have to confess I've never paid much attention to gunstock patterns until then.

picked up this WWII era Camillus maritime commission knife, my fav pattern by far is the rope knife

Noteworty rope knife (and fob), tsa!!

Here's a knife my wife gave me for Christmas 2017; I should have posted it here months ago!
I'm quite sure that, although it's "from" my wife, our daughter who spent the past 6 years in Spain actually bought it for her in Toledo, Spain. And, although she bought it in the workshop of a famous Spanish knife/sword maker, after being alerted to Spanish knife marketing customs by a BF member from Spain, I searched the internet a bit and am quite sure the knife is actually a production knife made by Salamandra, model 10012. Really like this knife and its European-style stag.

Thanks, GT. You'll never guess in a million years whose post it was that made me want one.

This one arrived today. I paid for it, but nothing obscene. I figured they're not making any more of them....

This has been a great week for finding knives on my wish list. The Schrade wire jack, the AG Russell bicentennial knife, and now the Case 21051 LSSP (thanks Dirk).

 

[Beard&Owl]

Hit the Case outlet in Branson yesterday, brought home this Tribal Lock. Really liking it so far, they did a great job on these. Probably my favorite newer Case Ive had.
