Canal Street at Shot Show 2015

[Chase]

I was very fortunate to meet up with Wally and some of the folks from Dexter out at Shot Show this past week.

My main interest in meeting up with them was to see the new Tactical Survival Knife they have designed and are working on. I am very impressed with what I have seen so far.

I will try to describe them and show you a photo. I will also include the link to a website for you to get a better photo!

Tom you hit a lick didn't ya!

Tell me about the largest lockback.

[rangerbluedog]

I'm glad to see you picked up a couple of pinch locks.

[Chase]

Phil,

That is the Canal Street Squeeze, big brother to the Pinch Lockback. What is unique about this particular one are the scales/handles. It is hand tooled material to resemble the skin of a python. Wally tells me that they have more than 100 hours in this knife and that is why it is a one of one knife...lol

He says they just can't get the money out of them that they have invested...I thought it would be a nice addition to my CS gatherings, even though it isn't one of my favorite patterns. Not often you can grab up a one of one knife.

That first knife pictured, tan with the black end is a new Pinch Version. This particular one is called a Pinch Air

It doesn't have the nickel bolster and is assembled with a rosette rivet. The reason it is called a Pinch Air is because it is so much lighter than a standard Pinch Lockback

Thanks Tom. That explains why I've never seen that one before. It caught my eye because of just that. Don't part with that one without consulting with your ole Ky. buddy.

I was able to get a better picture for,you Phil.

[glennbad]

That's cool!

[philco]

Thanks Tom. It sure looks like it would be complicated to achieve that "look". Kinda funky but I like it.

[philco]

I have now had the opportunity to hold that Squeeze lockback in my hands and I'll tell you right now it's far more impressive in person.

I'm sorry about all that drool I left on it Chase, but man!!!
