Latest Canal Street Additions
Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
I apologize for the procrastination... but here are a few I have "squirreled" away during this past winter...
I already pick up a CSCo-op pinchback with Chestnut handles... but @ 5" this "Sqeeze" lock is really impressive...
...and my favorite (partly due to the green bone) & first of the Cannilter pattern for me to own...
...and finally getting around to posting my Red Trout Boy's knife in the Green bone and thereby having all five posted here on this thread.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Each is a fine looking knife, but that Cannilter is gorgeous.
Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Nice collection. I like all of them especially the green bone on that Red Trout. I like the red abalone too. And... ah shoot, I like them all

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Nice looking duo Ken! That material definitely looks beautiful all polished up. I think the white buffalo was the best looking of all of them.

Lovely Doctor KAW. Looks good with its cuz as well.
Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Thanks Eric... btw, what exactly is "white buffalo mica pearl" comprised of anyway?
Thanks Floyd... Yeah... while the Doc knife makes for a good conversation piece... its probably not considered as practical as a stockman...

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Ken that was a resin based handle material made by Michael Prater at Painted Pony Designs. I think he still makes it. From what I understand he uses mica pearl powders for the colors.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
That's interesting because I worked for a mica based pigment factory in Peekskill, NY for nearly two decades. It started off as a private company named Mearl Corp. After the usual chain of bigger fish eating up the smaller ones... it is now owned by B.A.S.F. (who were the ones that told me they no longer need my services). Anyway, my point is... it's quite possible he gets the mica pearl from there as they are one of only a handful of companies that produce such a product (& only two are in the USA, the rest are in China)...

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Beautiful !
I think the CSC Red Stag knives are the most attractive of all the folding knives that Canal Street Cutlery made.
They make a terrific display. Wish i had bought one at the time.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Very cool Ripster!!! One of those ring knives has been on my list now for some time...
... but I did check off the list another type... the English Barlow with neat red, white & blue Kirinite handles thanks to a fellow AAPK member, Coreysbu...
...also was lucky enough to pick up this Hawbaker Special. According to Rich Langston, whom I bought the knife from, it is a prototype. Now I know the Hawbaker Special went into production, but I don't know if it was offered with the red jigged bone handles & I haven't seen any production knives with embossed bolsters. I did forget to ask him what year was it made... would be nice to know.
He also included this nice wood presentation case, altho it is not for the Hawkbaker as the insert clearly shows it was for some kind of three bladed knife like a whittler of some sort. Does anyone know what knife was offerd with this case?

Hey Kaw
The shape of the cutout in the display box looks like it might have been for a cannitler.

The embossed hawbakers were made for a special set of seven display knives. I don't recall how many sets were made but normally they were done on lots of around 25. They were commissioned by Red Hill Cutlery in 2009. The red bone knives were part of the production runs.
The display case was made for a pearl three blade equal end that was a collaboration knife between Queen and Canal Street. I think it was called the President series or something akin to that. It marked the beginning of their relationship when Canal Street first started up, buying Queen parts to make their knives until their own designs were put into production.
Nice acquisitions!!

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Eric... as always... you provide a wealth of information that is a real asset to this board. Thank you for sharing.
Mike... Never even considered a Cannitler... and I happen to have one to see if it would fit... spear blade is a bit fatter than the insert, but it can be made to fit. Does make for a nice way to display the knife... especially since it may be quite some time (if ever) before I can get an original one Eric described.
