Any Canal Street Fans Out There?

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.

TJ that Rams Horn Hawbaker muskrat is absolutely beautiful.

I've accumulated several CS knives now but that one is as nice or nicer than anything in my collection. ::tu::

Thanks Phil - Don't really know why I bought it except that I'm a buyer and not a shopper, an impulse buyer. But the Ram's Horn is nice and especially nice on the 2010 AAPK that I bought.

That is a nice lil' Musky, TJ. I believe it's the first CS shield I've seen that was silver. ::tu::

Thanks Mumbly. The knife was an exclusive for Red Hill Cutlery, maybe that's why the silver shield.

Henry Golden Boy in .17 HMR. As you can see, it was a gift from my two best friends. I would do anything in the world for those two and that was before they gave the rifle to me. I love the rifle and I really appreciate it, I just don't know what I did to deserve it.

Bought this one from Red Trout (an AAPK member store owner) a couple of weeks ago. This is my first Canal Street, but I can tell it won't be my last one.
