Canal Street Stag Heavy Jack

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.

Phil,

In all of those Swell Center Jacks....you don't have a prototype? How did that happen?

Tom without dragging them out to verify, I think there's one prototype and one other that was one of three produced.

It would be nice if you listed the photo again with the handle material listed below the photo. Also Which ones are Prototypes and which ones are unique.

Just saying....LOL

Of course, I would like this info purely for personal reasons!

"My goodness Joe, that thing is crazy awesome"
It is that for sure. The 'craziness' is that it has 2 distinct 'personalities'. The Paua shell handles give it a fancy dress appearance like you might see in a Gent's knife. But have it in hand, feel it's weight and how it sits in the 'ready to work' position, and you know that in reality it is a serious heavy duty work knife.
It's human counterpart would be a young body builder guy dressed in a full formal tuxedo.
It is a keeper. Does anyone know how many were made with this handle material ?
