despite all his awards and achievements, A.G. is first of all a knifemaker. 2020: Razor-Sharp Cutting Edges
We are proud to offer a CRKT production version of his Sting, complete Blade: Length: 3.197” (8.1 cm)
with a new custom Zytel® sheath. Thickness: 0.137” (0.35 cm)

After heat-treating and normalizing to improve the grain structure, the Sting is 2.4 oz. (68 g) with straps
then heat treated and quenched to achieve hardness, and tempered to arrive at
an optimum hardness with excellent strength.
While they are very tough, low alloy steels do not have the rust resistance
imparted by the chromium and nickel in stainless steels, so we apply a black
non-reflective powder coat finish to stop 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.
We have also created a new Cordura® multi-carry sheath with a Zytel liner.

can take more outright abuse than any stainless steel knife we make. You can
use it to cut wood, clean and skin animals, and even for those unforeseen dig-
ging and prying tasks.
As a personal carry, the Sting is a more hefty knife than our other small fixed
blades, which many say adds a sense of security.
Like A.G. Russell himself, the Sting is a tough character that has earned its
respect.

EDGIE ™

First seedless grapes. Then the TV remote control. Now the self-sharpening knife,
thanks to Maj. Howard Pope and his patented* utility folder.

S
ince the dawn of human history, man has dreamed of a knife that would Specifications
sharpen itself during normal use. Here it is, the patented* brainchild of EDGIE™
inventor Maj. Howard Pope (USAR Ret.), who collaborated with custom 6442: Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge
knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Steve Jernigan. Steve Blade: Length: 2.875” (7.3 cm)

but you should not, because it may alter the Edgie’s proper self-sharpening edge
angle. Of course, it is important during a long cutting work session to periodi-
cally open and close the blade to maintain the edge.
The high-carbon stainless steel blade in satin finish features a strong full-
width spine for most of its length, dual hollow grinds, and the single cutting
edge. Because the internal abrasive sharpening strip works on this one edge
only, a tiny burr forms, which actually helps cutting action, acting as a microser-
ration. This makes the Edgie tops for cutting cardboard boxes, rope, cord and
even ripe tomatoes.

Two sharpening guides are included. One is a slight angle for putting an edge

heavier tools such as choppers and machetes.
