Moore Maker drop point by Canal Street?
I would be grateful for opinions as to whether or not Canal Street made this Moore Maker branded drop point hunter. It is approximately 8" long and is a model 6101.

The Canal Street drop points had two large compression rivets in the handles, not the spun on pins. Their guard was also smaller. The knife in the photo definitely isn't Canal Street, maybe Queen?
Here are a couple of examples of Canal Street drop points, if I recall correctly I think the only one we made for Moore Maker was a mesquite handled one. Pretty certain I don't have one but I'll check tomorrow. Top knife is the older style. This one's a proto but they were just like it:
Next up is the newer style handled in moose, this is the style that was used for Moore Maker's mesquite knife:

Eric, thank you for clarifying how the Canal Street drop point was constructed.ea42 wrote:The Canal Street drop points had two large compression rivets in the handles, not the spun on pins. Their guard was also smaller. The knife in the photo definitely isn't Canal Street, maybe Queen?

My pleasure Ralph, I'm always happy to help
Tom, I think you're right, it looks exactly like Utica construction.

Re: Moore Maker drop point by Canal Street?
My guess on the posted knife would be Queen. Though I don't think that Queen ever used that pattern for their own knives. Maybe they did?
Utica would be a guess, as others have said, but I have not seen Utica make any stag handled knives.
If it was my knife I would send pics to Moore Maker - they would probably tell you who made it.
