My 1st CSC on the way---Half Moon Trapper

Good afternoon, everybody.

I am new to CSC but not to knives. Recently I have been gravitating to traditional folders and picking up one or two or three to try out. I read some good things about the CSC Single Blade Half Moon Trapper, and really like the looks of the smooth sunset bone scales. So, yesterday I pulled the trigger at Sooner State, where Kenny has excellent prices and was very helpful over the phone (on a Saturday evening no less!).

Having just experienced a real nail buster of a GEC, I guess I was also of a mind to try CSC's reportedly softer springs. I've also recently been bedeviled trying to put a good edge on a Queen D2 blade, so I'm looking forward to CSC's 14-4CrMo, which I understand is almost identical to 154CM, with which I've had good luck.

Anyway, I'd apreciate hearing any comments or opinions on the Single Blade Half Moon Trapper.

Thanks,

Andrew

I like it a lot. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I've not seen a bad Canal Street yet, I even bought one the "Carry the Football" knives and was really impressed in the quality of workmanship and materials. Congrats.

Andrew,

How do you like your knife??? Is the fit and finish top notch? how about the steel hold a good edge. I to am thinking about switching from gec (management-quality issues) thanks for any help or advise. Jay
