I've owned several of these knives and given many as gifts. It has been my EDC for twenty years and has never let me down. Recently I lost the 'trigger' that lifts the blade to close it. Without the 'trigger' it can be hard on the pocket. Is there any way I can get another 'trigger?' I still have my all-stainless version, but I like how this one rides in my pocket.
I recently ordered and received one of your K-93s in AUS-8 and an all purpose blade. It replaced a Gerber LST I've been carrying for a while. I really like the checker grip handle it reminds me of my SOG Seal Pup fixed blade I've had for years 🙂
That was 3-1/16" for that first one, not 3-1/8". Someone recommended me a K12 when I was seeking a gentleman's folder, but I didn't like the lock. Now, after seeing you manipulate it in this video, I think I'm on board. By the way, I wound up going with an A.G. Russell medium gent's folding hunter for the aforementioned gentleman's folder. I'm really happy with it. I like how the lock spring is not overly stiff. The knife has such an elegance to it; such a smooth and light action!
I ordered one and the lock is super stiff. No way I could open and close as shown. Is the knife in the video right out of production or has the lock been broken in? Hopefully mine loosens up a bit. Seems to be a quality knife overall and I like the blade and ergos.
I picked these knives randomly right out of inventory. These ones were super smooth opening/closing, but you shouldn't have a lock that is significantly harder than this. If yours is still tight after 20-30 opens/closes, go ahead and send us yours back. Check the back of your packing slip for exchange instructions, make sure to note that yours has a stiff lock, and warehouse will make sure to handpick you one that is smoother. -Jake
I believe the ATS-34 versions were introduced online around 2007, but we changed them to VG-10 in 2010. Those dates may not be 100% right but it's what I could find in the moment.
I would throw a nice lanyard on it and just pocket carry it. This knife is on my list. I just got my new catalog and i love it thanks so much for sending them to me
I don't have the Kydex neck sheath set up for online ordering at the moment, but you can call us Toll Free at 800-255-9034. Order item number KYD-K93-CH, it sells for $20. If you order it alone, since it is a smaller product, tell our Representative that Mary Ann approved a reduced shipping rate of $4 instead of the usual $8.95. If you decide there's something else you would like to order online, just put that item number into the special instructions box and ask it be added to your order and Customer Service will process that order appropriately. I hope that helps!
Not yet I'm afraid. The knife industry has been struggling as of late, and European knife laws have been less than kind to knife makers. We'd love to one day though!
We do ship internationally at exact shipping cost (exactly what the carrier charges us to ship it). One day when the industry is doing better we'll look at expanding. Thanks for the interest!
Yeah, you can't evade my patronage forever. Just had a look at the website and I am yet again impressed by A.G.'s design. The Muskrat or the Personal hunter (among others) are stellar - good looking and practical.
I have both blade designs and the neck sheath as well. Very sharp! Nice store and even nicer people at Rogers. Love these knives.
I bought 1 , 3 years ago.
Clip point VG 10
These might have been designed before pocket clips were popular, but it still screams for one today.
Great EDC...and I love VG10.

Absolutely. Fill out this form and let us know you need another tab for the K93 and we'll mail you one. agrussell.com/contact#other

what year did they stop using the ATS 34 ?
I believe the ATS-34 versions were introduced online around 2007, but we changed them to VG-10 in 2010. Those dates may not be 100% right but it's what I could find in the moment.
@@AGRussellKnivescompany thanks!
My favorite everyday knife! VG-10 blade is hard to sharpen.
these knives are awesome! love the neck lanyard that you can get with these!!!

So many great products and no dealer in Europe... (AFAIK)
Not yet I'm afraid. The knife industry has been struggling as of late, and European knife laws have been less than kind to knife makers. We'd love to one day though!
I absolutely love the safety axe, it'd be legal here, too. Fixed blades as well.
