Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
Welcome to AAPK. It's always great to see another Canal Street collector posting. Those are two very handsome knives.

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
Here are some pictures of my Cannitler. It is one of my carry knives. This is a very well made knife in my opinion. When I rub my fingers over the surfaces everything is smooth... no snags, no rough edges. Blades open and close tightly, but not too tightly, and the snap is "snappier" than I was expecting.
From reading through the thread, I can see there are some Canal Street fans. I count myself as a fan based on my small sample size (1 knife).

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
Sorry to rain on your parade fellas.....Canal Street has discontinued the Cannitler. What you have is what there is, unless you can find someone willing to part with their Cannitler. CSC will no longer be making these gems and they have discontinued the Ring Turn and a couple others as well!
The Swell Center Jack is another that has been discontinued....Sorry Phil!
Sad but maybe this will make room for some new patterns!

It's a shame I tell ya.
Tom do you know if they are planning to continue making the congress pattern ? I haven't seen any new ones in a good while now, and I'm starting to wonder about them too.

I've got a dozen Canal Street knives but only 1 Cannitler in White Buffalo Mica. Pretty sweet looking design in my opinion.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
I bought a couple of knife club Cannitlers recently at bargain prices that had undesirable (IMO) handles. I had them re-handled and here is how they turned out. I like them both, but am very pleased with the stag example. These will make their way into my pocket occasionally because the Cannitler is a pocket friendly pattern.
Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
Looks like both turned out quite well. I like the way they look now.

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
Here is a Cannitler listed on eBay that, based on the pictures, doesn't look up to the fit & finish standards typical of my experience with Canal Street knives. The seller is highly reputable, in my opinion.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CANAL-STREET-W ... 1438.l2649
Two things caught my eye: 1) the ragged bone around the shield inlay, 2) the serial number stamp on the bolster. Does this knife look below CSC standards to anyone else?

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
I don't own any Cannitlers anymore but I've owned 3 of them in the past. I can't be of much help but what I'm seeing is what looks like an authentic CSC Cannitler with some really bad finishing around the shield. Not sure about the serial number.
I know you consider the seller to be highly reputable but his listing states that the bone is chip and crack free. That is simply not true.

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
At best what you have there would be considered a factory second or the original knife didn't have the shield and someone did a poor job of adding it.
Definitely not up to Canal Street Cutlery Standards by any means

Re: Any CSC Cannitler collectors out there? (PICTURE THREAD)
I do believe that's a legit knife, the serial number is in the right place and the paperwork looks correct. Not sure what happened with the shield cavity thought, it definitely isn't a nice smooth cut. Something tells me that yellow bone was brittle, hence the spun center pin. We usually hammered the centers on smooth handle material. That one came out a year before I started there so I really have no definitive answer, I think whoever was inspecting missed that detail. Nice example for a canittler collector though as I haven't seen any other CS's with that bone.
