Any Canal Street Fans Out There?

Former Schrade President Walley Gardner and principal Joe Hufnagel joined with nine master cutlers to form a group of US craftsmen with over 300 years of combined knife making experience to create Canal Street Cutlery. It was first located in upstate New York where a long and rich tradition of quality knife making dates back to the 19th century. Unfortunately, the company closed its doors in 2015, but not before making some great knives. The brand was resurrected in 2018 as Canal Street Cutlery Co-Op & focused on making very small batches of high quality traditional knives. As a Co-Op, it was owned by the knife makers who worked there. Unfortunately, the business model couldn't hold up & the entity again ceased production.

Don has listed some really good sources for Canal Street knives. I've purchased knives from all of them and have been pleased with the knives and the service. One other name I can throw out there is an ebay seller who sells under the name of keepdad1. He has a pretty good variety based on the ones I've seen him post for sale. If there is something in particular you are hunting for, I'd suggest sending him a message. He is a good guy to deal with.

Had a birthday last month. Thought I would treat myself to a couple trappers. :wink:

Stag and Antique Green Bone. Both are #12 of 50.

That's a cotton thread on the rear center pin on the green bone. :oops:

The only two Canal Street knives that I have. I'm sure everyone will recognize the first one, 2009 AAPK LE with ebony handles, the second one is the 2009 Hawbaker Special with Ram's Horn handles distributed by Red Mile Cutlery in Kentucky.

TJ that Rams Horn Hawbaker muskrat is absolutely beautiful.

I've accumulated several CS knives now but that one is as nice or nicer than anything in my collection. ::tu::

Thanks Phil - Don't really know why I bought it except that I'm a buyer and not a shopper, an impulse buyer. But the Ram's Horn is nice and especially nice on the 2010 AAPK that I bought.

Thanks Mumbly. The knife was an exclusive for Red Hill Cutlery, maybe that's why the silver shield.

Henry Golden Boy in .17 HMR. As you can see, it was a gift from my two best friends. I would do anything in the world for those two and that was before they gave the rifle to me. I love the rifle and I really appreciate it, I just don't know what I did to deserve it.
