I bought a new EDC from Russell on BB in hunter orange G10 , Russell also had a SAK he was repairing for me ....

One thing led to another and he came up with this

Very happy

Is there a way to contact this guy? I have an old protofarmer (same era) that I'd love to get the scales fixed on it.

Looks awesome mate, those are some fantastic pictures. Orange always looks great, it certainly hasn't disappointed on those two knives!

Beautiful knife! However, the back springs on those old soldier knives usually are real nail breakers. How is the action on that one?

Well this one is not in my hands yet but my last one in carbon fibre was not to bad I think the 70 years tends to tighten up the action, the clean and polish before Russell puts them back together I would guess returns them to an as new action .... still tough but very smooth

I know this is not a swiss army knife but thought I would put the pics of the other knife up here as well

Its was built as a prototype (Russell was just trying out a few new materials)

Specs: 16cm OAL, 9cm closed with a 6cm edge.
