Latest Canal Street Additions
Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Just picked up this Moore Maker made by Canal Street.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Wow, quite the knife ! I have a similar one that is a Canal Street Cutlery knife. Did CSC make any other knives for Moore Maker ?
I lost interest in MM after Camillus closed in 2007 because i thought Bear Mfg. got a contract to replace Camillus. I assume the bone & Stag handled MM still come from Queen ?

If it's expensive, it's made by Queen.
If it's inexpensive, and there's a B after the model number, it's made by Bear and Sons.
If it's inexpensive, and there's a U after the model number, it's made by Utica.
If it's inexpensive, and there's no letter after the model number, it was made by Camillus.
Canal Street made the Pinch Lockback for Moore Maker as well

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Until Doug posted the picture of his Moore Makers trapper I had no idea that Canal Street had used the Swell Centered Jack frame to build a trapper. With Doug's help I was able to locate one with mesquite handles. Unfortunately (for me) it appears he snagged the only abalone model up for sale. Life can be so cruel.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Anyone have some info on this shield? Looks like Earnhardt's #3 to me.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
It's possible that Canal Street did an SFO for MacTools. They were an Earnhart sponsor and had knives done by Schrade as well. I'm sure Wally kept them in his rolodex
That's an early knife so it would have been done roughly between 2004 and 2008.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Phil, that's a fantastic find. I think there were only twenty five of those pearl handled swing guards made for Cumberland Knife Works if I can remember correctly. Goes back to nearly the beginning.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Thanks Eric. I didn't think there were many of them floating about. I feel very fortunate to be able to add this one to my collection. By the way you are responsible for me adding another knife to my pile. It's not a Canal Street per se but according to a post I saw you make, it was made by Canal Street.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
It certainly was Phil, and you've got a bit of Schrade history there too, those rope jigged covers were actually left over from the 100th Anniversary cigar box set of knives that Schrade halted production on just before they closed.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
These aren't recent pick ups or pictures but I was digging through my cabinet for another knife and was reminded of these.
Solid ring opener These two are year one commemoratives. They came in a real nice glass faced display. Canal Street really did things right. I miss them.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
This is a Red Hill exclusive from 2006. They called it a Serpentine Stockman. I wonder how many other SFO's Canal Street made for them.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Here's another Red Hill exclusive in the same green stag bone, a muskrat from 2008.
Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
That green staged bone is beautiful IMO.
Here's one that was waiting for me when I returned home from the Blade Show yesterday.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Beauty Phil, that's another early one that was done for Red Hill. Didn't use those cut swedge muskrats for very long, they're somewhat scarce.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Eric as I'm sure you're already well aware, these Canal Street knives are getting scarce. I'm trying to pick up what I can as I go along but the prices are rising too, making it tough on an old poor boy like me. I'm just grateful to be able to add a few from time to time.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Nice one Phil....I am with you, grabbing up Canal Streets as I can, not all styles, just the ones I like.
Like you said, they are very elusive and when you do find the right one.....look out, they are not cheap...lol

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Tom, the prices for CSC knives now is similar to the same pattern GEC knife. In other words, a little higher than when CSC was still in operation and closer to their deserved value.
Do you agree with this assessment ? or are prices higher than i think ?

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Roland,
I have approx 350 Canal Street Knives and they are all great knives....fit & finish on mine are great. I believe the prices are going up since they closed the factory and they seem to be less and less available.
I was very fortunate to have a couple of connections at Canal Street and was able to grab up quite a few one of a kind knives and of course some of the customs as well. I have a Mastodon Tooth and a Mastodon bone barlow as well as 13 Pinch Lock backs that have the Burl Etching on them. I also have some Protypes that never went into production past the sample stages.
I am a Die Hard Schrade fan so the cross-over to Canal Street was an easy choice.
I truly believe that folks that have Canal Street knives, are sitting on these knives, either because they are like Phil and I (Collectors) or they are holding out for higher prices before they bring them out.....just my opinion though.

Re: Latest Canal Street Additions
Santa delivered this Canal Street Stag Squeeze lockback for me this year. It is 5" closed and came with a belt sheath so it will likely get some belt time out of the house. It is a real shame that Canal Street no longer makes knives. This knife is impeccable.
