Dexter Russell Green River Traditional 4" Fish Knife 10281 2022

 John Russell's contributions to the American cutlery industry played a crucial role in shaping the tools that accompanied American settlers as they moved westward.  

The establishment of his tool and cutlery manufacturing in 1834 marked the beginning of a legacy that would leave a lasting impact on American frontier life. Russell's decision to set up a new factory on the Green River in Massachusetts in 1836 was strategic. The Green River provided a valuable source of water power, essential for operating the machinery involved in the cutlery production process. This move allowed Russell to enhance the efficiency of his manufacturing operations. 

The legacy of Russell's knives endures not only as historical artifacts but also in the linguistic expressions that highlight their exceptional quality.
