CSC Red Hill Exclusive 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 Red Hill Exclusive question

Post by DD396 »

I recently got this little knife on trade, and really like it. It is my first CSC knife.
I wondered if y'all could tell me what you know about it?

I know it's a Half Moon Trapper, Red Hill Exclusive.

Thanks for the help.

Hello and welcome to AAPK.

I don't know a lot to tell you about you knife. It appears to have red stag handles. Did you get the box and paperwork that originally came with the knife? That would tell you the year of production, handle material, and type of blade steel used. Most Canal Street knives have a serial number engraved on the bolster. Your knife bears the number 18. You may be able to find out more about your knife by contacting Red Hill Cutlery or perhaps Canal Street. Hopefully one or the other could tell you how many of that particular model were made. Some of the SFO (special factory orders) are very limited runs.
