A.G. Russell Bird & Trout

[fewpop]

I was up at the AG Russell store today, and just couldn't walk out without this one. It is a sweet little rig for sure. Very light, yet sturdy, and sharp as sin.

About a 2.75" VG10 edge (OAL about 6.75") with FRN handle, and comes with a nifty FRN dangler sheath that holds the knife secure when not in use. Should be just right for knocking around the Buffalo River here in NW Arkansas. Total weight as pictured with sheath, metal clip, and lanyard is right at 2 ounces. Good backpacking rig, imho.

Nice, Ford. I've always heard good things about that rig and it's easy to see why it would work well. Light and sharp? Works for me.

How thin and/or flexable is the blade on that?

I'd say the blade is about 3/32" at the spine. It's not real flexible, but the blade is only about 3" from tip to handle.

That is a nice set-up. I'd love to go to the AG Russell store.

As B&T patterns go, it's one of my favorite fixed blade knives. I've got more than I know what to do with. Ain't they sweet?
