Canal Street Co-op Knives
Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Glenn I PM'd Eric several days ago and he told me then he was one of the cutlers involved in this new endeavor. Like you, I think he's a very skilled knife maker as well as a real good guy.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I'm definitely involved folks, actually made all those sample knives Red Hill has in their photos. Their pictures came out kind of weird, looks like the blades shrunk lol! I didn't take any shots of what I made except for this one of the Bowie/trapper set:
I'm really excited about this, should be a lot of fun (and work!! )

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Eric,
That looks really nice. I am excited about Canal Street being back in business again. I am new to collecting and have never had one, so I hope to remedy that. You said you made the knives for the pictures, I was wondering why there was no stag pictured?

Larry, the stag knives were added to the order after I did the samples, probably a last minute addition.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
A cool idea would be to add a card that came with each knife to authenticate which cutler made each knife - much in the same way some small batch bourbons and scotches are packaged.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
In the Red Hill description of the new knives, the Pinch with brown canvas micarta scales includes a picture of the reverse side that shows a second shield: "Red Hill Exclusive".
The descriptions of the other knives do not show a picture of the reverse side.
Does anyone know if all of the "Co op" knives will have that "Red Hill Exclusive" shield on the reverse side?
Also, does anyone know if there is any significant difference to the Red Hill descriptions: "out of stock" and 'sold out" in the various "Co op" knives?
I'm glad I got my order in for a chestnut pinch. It seems they are out of stock (I assume meaning sold out) now also.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I got a UPS notice today letting me know my order from Basham Lumber is on the way. Great - but who the heck is Basham Lumber?? Quick google search shows me it's the parent company of Red Hill Cutlery. Neat! Looks like production is ahead of schedule. When I ordered my Chestnut Pinch it was for September delivery. UPS says I'll have it Tuesday. SWEET!!!

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Christmas in August!
As mentioned just above, the new Canal Street Co-op Pinches were supposed to be completed in September.
I received mine from Red Hill yesterday.
As shown, the knife came in a Red Hill box, inside a brown pouch, but did include the familiar slip of paper stating its origin.
The knife is not serial numbered and does not have a shield on the reverse side (as I wondered about up-thread.)
A great addition to my small collection of CS knives.
Congratulations to Mr. Gardiner, his cutlers, and Red Hill!

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I believe they are going to be Canal Street Tang Stamps
When I talked with Redhill, they stated that they were looking to bring on their own brand, however, Wally made the offer and they went with Canal Street Co-op knives.
Looks like it is going to be the same Tang Stamps that were are all used to seeing, right now!

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I would hope they used a different tang stamp so we could easily differentiate between the factory made Canal Street Cutlery Co. knives and the knives produced by the new co-op.

The stamp on the co-op knife that was shown by jxr1197 looks identical to the stamp used prior to the co-op era.philco wrote:I would hope they used a different tang stamp so we could easily differentiate between the factory made Canal Street Cutlery Co. knives and the knives produced by the new co-op.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Not the best picture, but the tang stamp on the chestnut pinch shows
Canal Street
Cutlery Co.
USA
(3 lines, slightly curved)
same as my 2013 merlot linen Pinch from the older CSC.
Also note, the Co-op blade is 154 CM while the CSC pinches were D2 (at least my few are).

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
My American chestnut pinch arrived today. I supposedly had ordered the last one available according to the sales staff at Red Hill.
Since Dan & Jason have already posted photos no need for me duplicate their efforts. The tang stamp is the original Canal Street Cutlery factory stamp with Canal Street / Cutlery Co. in a double arch over a the straight lined USA. The knife itself is purely Canal Street Cutlery. Only the little info sheet designates it as a co-op knife & of course, the Red Hill Cutlery box reveals their association in this partnership. I'm so glad to be fortunate enough to obtain a "first run" knife of the Wally's new CSC co-op venture! May it be the first of many...

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Does anyone know how many of the pinch lockbacks with the chestnut handles were made?
I have read that the batch runs where to be less than 100 pieces...
and I agree with bestgear.... it would be nice to know who the cutler is for the knife I obtained.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Can't help you with who the cutler is, but there were less than 10 made according to the website. These first ones are very small batches.KAW wrote:Does anyone know how many of the pinch lockbacks with the chestnut handles were made?

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
First post Guys Nice to meet ya !
I called Josh at Red Hills yesterday and he told me the stag boys knife was for a show they we're having in a couple weeks ,but they where put up on the web site just to test the water !
Never thinking they would go as fast as they did. Well We knew better ! I have one of those coming and a pinch in N.M. He was going to ship them together, I told him cool but it's a test of my OCD (I want it! I want it now ! ) He also said to keep on the lookout for more ! but I don't think we'll see big runs from CSC co-op , Josh said Wally want to keep the runs small, so We'll see.
