One of the characteristics of the AG Russell folding knives that I have come to appreciate, is some models have a blade length that almost seems to defy the length of the handle.



Nice knife and pics spudley! :like: :tu: :tu:

I love all of your AG Russell knives but my 2 favorites are the stag handled Arkansas Hunter and the green G10 handled Arkansas Hunter.

I think they would be a perfect size for EDC!  :cheers:

Very high-quality knives for imports.  Similar domestically made blades, would cost three-times as much.  I'm partial to the 4" Sunfish, Lockback Folding Hunter, and the Horseman

AG caught a lot of crap for having knives made in China. I was talking to him one day and he said there were a lot of people that would complain that they wish he made knives in the US, Germany, or Japan instead. He told me, "I have made knives in those places in the past...if all these people claiming they would buy my knives had done so when I had them made in the US, Germany and Japan, I would not have to make them in China." It is a common Catch 22. People claim they want those knives, but they don't seem to want to cough up the cash. It is kind of like the people who want a certain type of knife made with premium super steel, but say it is way too expensive when their wish comes true.

Remember, he did not sell his stuff through other retailers...all his sales were in-house.

Personally, I have found them pretty high quality for Chinese made knives.

If you ever wanna try them out, let me know and I can send them to you to see if it is something you'd like to buy. The G10 model is still available, but every now and then one of the elk antler models shows up.

That is a very generous offer, but  I can tell from the pictures that the quality is there and I am probably going to order one of the green G10 Arkansas Hunters by the end of this week :D ........I have been regularly looking at the green handled Arkansas Hunter on page 13 of my A.G.Russell Knives Late Fall 2019 Catalogue for the last week after seeing your Arkansas Hunters.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of yours. :cheers:

Other than my Vic Huntsman, that is my most carried knife.

Funny little story about mine:

I remember when they first came out in the AG Russell catalog, I was super excited about getting one. Well, when my birthday came around, my (now ex) girlfriend handed me a large gift bag that was pretty heavy. I opened it to find an array of the most random stuff I had ever seen. Inside was such items as - hair dye, dryer sheets, laxatives, hemorrhoid cream and several other weird items. I just gave her a funny look and she chuckled and said, "dig deeper." Under a piece of paper at the bottom was the green G10 Arkansas Hunter. I was super excited and I don't think I ever received a knife that I kept playing with as much as that one. It definitely was a great gift. It has traveled with me as much as my Huntsman. I rotate my second knife from time to time, but always come back around to the Arkansas Hunter. I even made a form fitting boiled leather sheath that holds the knife so securely that it "clicks" in.

The mail carrier just dropped this off. :mail: :woohoo:

After seeing spudley's pictures of the A. G. Russell Arkansas Hunter I "had" to order one, and I must say I am not disappointed........the workmanship, fit and finish are all perfect. The blade is perfectly centered when closed, and it opens easily with the thumb.

The blade is 8Cr13MoV at a Rockwell hardness of 57-59. I have used this steel before and I carry a pocket steel that will quickly touch up the edge when needed.

I just ordered this 2 days ago and it got here that quick.

As you can see from the pictures of it alongside my Buck S30V drop point hunter, the Arkansas Hunter has as much cutting edge as the Buck, but when closed the Arkansas Hunter is shorter which is nice for vertical carry in the back pocket.

Thanks for posting the pictures of yours spudley! :hatsoff:

Lockback Hunter. It seems so oversized, but this knife makes a GREAT camp knife.

That is alright... it is better to have it and not be able to find the information on it than to be able to find the information on it and not be able to find the knife. :D

That is the only one of those I have seen and it is a very nice shaped blade on it. :cheers:

Thanks bud! I've only seen two, bought them both. Part of my insane philosophy (or so my ex wife says) of one to carry, one to collect. :D
