Overall a honest, carry-ready example of this iconic design.A.G. Russell designed the Sting in the mid-1970s as a sleek, practical boot knife. The original versions (circa 1977) were hot drop-forged from a single piece of 440C stainless steel by Anton Wingen Jr. (Othello) in Solingen, Germany. These early German-made Stings became highly regarded for their balance, strength, and clean lines.
