Wow Steve, that's a nice one! I've heard A.G. comment on mr. Dozier's Loveless style knives. A.G. considers him one of the best in the field of Loveless style knives.

I stopped by the store today .. met Mr. Russell .. what a wonderful man !!!

The store was full and Mr. Russell still spent a full 10 min talking to me.

I had a small otf I use for an EDC .. he clicked it in & out while telling me about when he'd had some (little larger .. but same) made for him in Germany. Apparently .. they didn't all always lock up. Neither does mine. He pointed mine up & opened it during the conversation .. then pointed down while retracting it. That's when they usually do not lock up if they're not going to. Mine locked up every time while he was doing it. Again, it doesn't always .. at least not on retraction.

Later, he held his hand out for it again & just stood there clicking it in & out while we talked .. not even looking @ the knife .. just playing and talking to me. Any collector of auto's will tell you how addicting that click click click is .. we do it w/o even thinking. And here Mr. A.G. Russel was doing that with mine while talking to me.

BIG SMILE

I left with one of his Medium Barlow Lockback's in Ebony Rucarta & a CRKT K.I.S.S. ASSist in a drop point. His lockback barlow is unique .. a modern rendition of an old & proven pattern. CRKT's assisted opening & locking system is simply .. SWEET. I'll post pics & short review later.

When I got home & told Abby .. she inquired if I'd gotten him to sign the box or receipt or anything .. I freely admitted .. I was a bit intimidated.

Thank you for your time today Mr. Russell.

Dale.

I envy you Dale!  I would love to visit the store and any time spent with AG or Ms Goldie is always special.  Bet you are clicking that same knife right now :)

Had a look at those War Eagle knives. They look like good value. Some people might pooh pooh at the chosen steel. But they forget that the older knives that they love (and some of the newer ones like Case Knives) use similar grades of stainless even for a lot of their premium knives.

Sure it's not the greatest edgeholding steel in the world. But a lot of people into these kinds of slipjoints love the fact that they can resharpen their knives on the bottom or rim of a coffeecup. And the steel used in the War Eagle knives is excellent for that.

Michelle, if you send them an e-mail to explain I'm sure they'll accommodate you. They're very willing to work with their customers.

I can see nice website of cuttingedge.com. Look great! But one thing...... I read it say "Only one of each knife is available and orders must be place by phone." Problem is  that i cannot hear on the phone because i am deaf since birth. If i want order it but how? better email? or what?
