A.G. Russell Springdale, ARK. Fixed Blade Hunter ~ Vintage 1980`s - RARE!
Design and Construction
This specific 9-inch model follows the classic Morseth design language, known for its high-performance blade and ergonomic handle.
- Blade Material: Features Morseth’s signature laminated steel, often consisting of a high-carbon core (like A-2) for edge retention, sandwiched between layers of softer steel for toughness.
- Blade Style: Hunter profile, designed by Gordon Morseth and continued by A.G. Russell.
- Handle: Constructed with Micarta, a resin-based material highly valued by collectors for being nearly indestructible and providing a secure grip even when wet.
- Hilt and Spacers: features a nickel silver double guard and a series of colored spacers (often red, black, and white) between the guard and the micarta handle.
Markings and Origin
