CSC question

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.

CSC question

Post by coffeecup »

I've been asked to put together the specs for a club knife, and need more information to know if CSC should be considered. I tried contacting them via the email link on the webpage, but no reply. Is CSC still outsourcing blades and components, or is everything made in-house these days?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim, everything's done in house. There was a time in the first year or two when Queen supplied most of the parts until in-house production could get up and running, but they've been out of the picture for a good seven or so years.

Thanks Eric! I wasn't able to find any information on the webpage about where the knife components are made, or a statement that they were all made in-house. When the factory didn't respond, I was prepared to assume the worst.
