A New Englander, John Russell founded his Green River Works on March 1, 1834. The quality of the Green River knife was superior. It became one of the indispensable items of those who headed west, and a favorite of the fur trappers and mountain men. Our Russell knive blanks are made from high quality carbon steel and carry the Green River trademark. Just add your own favorite handle material, finish, and you will have a knife that will last a great long while.
