History of A.G. Russell

This video describes a lot of the history of A.G. Russell Knives, and about A.G. Russell himself.

R.I.P. Mr. Russell. I was saddened to hear of your passing. I bought my first Morseth knife from you in 1977, and remember you personally assisting me because of the way I wanted it customized. This was back when you were in your old shop on Hwy. 71. Since then, I have bought numerous knives from you, because you always treated me right and gave me good advice whenever I called you What meant the most to me, however, was your support to me when I was in Kuwait in 1991 fighting the first Iraq War, what we called Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I was carrying one of the stag-handled Bowie's that you had made for me, and it was stolen from me. Fortunately, I had a picture of my knife, sent that picture to you, and you had one of your knife makers manufacture as near of a replica as you possibly could, and you shipped it to me. You had always told me that if you treat a man with respect, you will get back more respect in return. Your personal attention to me in getting my knife replaced meant more to a young Marine than I could ever convey with words alone. May God Bless you A.G. You we're one of a kind, and you will truly be missed.

I just found out about A.G. Russell knives today. I was browsing their website and while reading things about the company you could feel the pride the company takes in their product. I read their "about" page which gave a history on how A.G. made the company, checked out his Wikipedia page, and here I am to pay my respects. Oh, and I am definitely going to by a knife today!! My condolences to his family.

I grew up in the 90’s getting the A.G. Russell knife catalog. I loved it so much, so many beautiful memories looking at it and dreaming about all the knives I would get when I was older. I always loved how good the knife photography was in the catalog.

Thank you Isabella! We put a LOT of work into our photography and catalogs.

R.I.P. His video about knife sharpening helped me a lot. FeatherLite always with me.

[@haroldowens6311]

I've got a AG Russell knife in my pocket right now. I made the trip to Rogers AR. AG was working the counter. He made it a point to wait on me personally.

[@clipper6403]

It is hard to imagine who it is that give AG a thumbs down. Oh wait I know, a trashy sub human!

[@kukuri007]

Y’all need another employee? I’d crawl to Arkansas to work there.

[@gallozaacevedoeric]

Started my love for knives because of him...my Hero!! Rest in peace.

[@richardk3784]

They sell you a lifetime warranty knife or tool and when it breaks they don't stand behind the products they sell very disgusted with such business practices and will never buy from them again.

[@AGRussellKnivescompany]

Dear Richard, I am sorry you've had such a poor experience with us. I don't know your specific circumstances but 90% of the time we can resolve any issues if you give us a call at 800-255-9034 during our normal business hours of Mon - Fri: 8:30am - 5:00pm CST and explain the situation.

I’m sorry to hear of his passing but the copy and music of this video is over the top and ego centric. I can see why some wouldn’t like it. Why not just tell us who he was? His life story is sufficient to grab your audience without the emotional manipulation.
