CSC Prototypes

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.

Tom great shots, that trophy set is just amazing! :shock:

Here's a pretty cool one, it was modeled after the old Marbles safety knife. This was the large version, 8" closed to the end of the lock/safety extension. There was talk of making a smaller version as well, but everything was put on the back burner due to difficulties in cost effectively machining a slot in the safety for the blade edge to nestle in. Then of course the place closed so that was that. I don't recall what the handles are made of, might be linen micarta but not sure.
