Re: Help Dating CS Knives

I have one just like it. My notes say it is model #312321, probably made in 2006.

Eric, I thank you for the Squeeze and Pinch lockbacks I carry on day hikes, and for all the other Canal Street knives you had a hand in making.

Re: Boys Knife

Canal Street made some tasty handles: Merlot, cherry cola, root beer, mint julep, mint green, carmel, cornucopia, not to mention a "pie". This one is tootsie roll.

Re: Canal Street Value

I know I appreciate my CSC knives even more since the closing, and I was an enthusiastic booster of CSC even before. Now that no more new ones are being made, I'm much less inclined to give them as gifts or to use the backups and other pristine knives in my modest collection. Beginning with the last...

Re: Canal Street Price Increase

Well, it takes only one collector who wants it that badly, and they can keep re-listing it at successively lower starting bids until someone goes for it. It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay for it.

Re: New for this year.

I own only two knives in Sambar stag, both made by Canal Street. One, a stockman, has the Canal Street shield. The other, an Eric's Jack, does not. The stockman's shield is placed as well as it could possibly be, but I would like it even better if the shield were absent. I do own a GEC #42 Missouri ...

Re: Your Dream GEC

My dream GEC would combine the blade shape, bolster, and handle of an original single-blade Northwoods #44 Madison Barlow with the lockback, stainless steel, and lanyard hole of a GEC #42 Missouri Trader in stag, elk, smooth camel bone, or jigged cow bone.

That would also be my dream Northwoods...

At this sad time, I'd like to thank everyone at Canal Street and express my best wishes for whatever they do in the future. Canal Street gave us 10+ years of mighty fine knives. I'll be using Canal Street knives and carrying a CSC folder for the rest of my life, as will several of my family and frie...

Re: August 2015 AAPK Knife Giveaway

Thanks to all who posted or signed up for the drawing. I was out
of town and away from the Internet for most of August, returning
just long enough to have time to put Jody's knife in the mail before
I had to leave for a short meeting on the opposite coast.

Re: CSC Squeeze Discussion?

Hello, and welcome. You've shown some nice pictures here. The Squeeze is 218mm (8.6 inches) long when open and 124mm (4.9 inches) closed. It weighs about as much as two Pinches: roughly 120g, or a bit over four ounces. I carry mine in a leather belt pouch I made myself. The pouch that came with it w...

Re: Why you should be buying Canal Street knives

Thanks, guys. Very nice Will,really like that St Elmo's fire. The royal blue Kirinite shows nice depth. At first, however, I thought it didn't quite go with the straightforwardly practical design. The Catskill Hunter has the same overall and blade length as an open Squeeze, but its blade is wider an...

So far, the most helpful answer came from Will (see above). So, unless any GEC collectors care to come to the defense of GEC with better supporting stats than a 25% failure rate (I don't care how many "hand processes" they utilize in manufacturing a knife...if they can't consistently prod...

Re: Why Has GEC Knives Fallen Off the Cliff?

In my limited experience, GEC quality has been hit or miss. Some GEC-made knives are outstanding, but two of the eight I've purchased had issues at least as severe as yours. You should expect the lemons to show up on eBay more often than the marvels. You can't fix the acorn and you probably can't do...
