Say "A.G. Russell," and you have to immediately
say "first," because this living legend was one
of the inventors of the modern knife industry. But despite
all his awards and achievements, A.G. is first of all a
knifemaker. The CRKT production Sting™, complete with
a custom Cordura®/Zytel® sheath, is a multipurpose
one-piece utility knife that is just about indestructible.
Hot
forging is the reason the Sting is so tough. It begins life
as an ordinary blank of 1050 carbon steel, similar to the
alloy used in traditional Samurai swords, which is first
hot forged and then precision ground into final shape. We
apply a black non-reflective powder coat finish to resist
corrosion.
The
spear point blade features two Razor-Sharp cutting edges.
The integral handle is contoured to fit the bare or gloved
hand nicely and provides heft and balance, with thumb detents
for grip. A large lanyard hole is provided, allowing the
use of a wrist lanyard, or carry as a neck knife.
Like
A.G. Russell himself, the Sting is a tough character that
has earned its respect..
