Ellenville, nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Catskill Mountains in upstate New York has a long and rich tradition of quality knife making dating back to the 19th century so it was only fitting that this new Company committed to those same traditions return to the roots which brought this American craft to the forefront.

CSCC had a wealth of knife making experience and technical knowledge. Principals, Wally Gardiner and Joe Hufnagel were joined by Nine Master Cutlers who combine for over 300 years of knife making experience. By using the finest materials available combined with the skill of years of experience, Canal Street Cutlery was committed to fulfill its promise to its customers of providing the finest US manufactured product available.
