Canal Street Collection
Canal Street Collection
Hello everyone. I just recently stumbled upon this forum trying to do some research on my dads knife collection I received after his passing. Hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction when it comes to putting a value on some of these Canal Street knives. Seems to be a little harder finding info on the smaller knife companies. I have attached some pictures to give an idea what im working with. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Adam

Re: Canal Street Collection
Adam, sorry for the loss of your father. It appears he had an amazing collection. I am not the one to help you but some one should be along. A bit of a daunting task.
Re: Canal Street Collection
I appreciate your kind words. His knives were his passion and he still lives through them. This is only a small portion of the whole collection.

Re: Canal Street Collection
So sorry regarding the loss of your father. If you know he had any favorites
or you take a liking to some, save some for you to keep. You will
not regret it.

Since Canal Street went out of business and made pristine knives, you can probably easily put a "1" in front of that $79.99 sticker. Do an eBay Completed Listings search, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Re: Canal Street Collection
Adam,
I am Sorry for your Loss. Welcome to the site! I will tell you that your father had a keen eye for what knives to collect. I too am a collector of the Canal Street Knives and I have somewhere between 400-500 Canal Street knives in my collection. In looking at your photos, it appears he purchased a lot of the knives thru AG Russell (The colored label/stickers). In saying that he paid a little higher price for the knives.
Canal Street Knives are gaining in value as there just aren't that many of them that folks are selling. Canal Street Cutlery went out of business in 2015, they tried some specialty made knives for Red Hill Cutlery and then finally ceased production.
ea42, a member here at AAPK, worked at the Canal Street Cutlery factory and he continues to make his own line of knives (Alber's Cutlery).
My Uncle was a Custom Knife Maker and Master Cutler for Schrade USA and Canal Street Cutlery.
I would be happy to assist you in any way that I can, all you need to do is ask!
Respectfully,
Tom (Chase is my name here on AAPK)

Re: Canal Street Collection
Hi Adam. I don't have quite the collection my buddy Chase has but I do have a couple hundred Canal Street knives. If I can help you in any way I'll be glad to do so.

Re: Canal Street Collection
Can not thank everyone enough for their kind words and helpful info. Shortly after making this post I got in contact with Eric Albers and helped me out more than I could have ever imagined. Also got in touch with a great collector on here and was able to pass some along into their collection.
Again thank you all for everything.
Best regards,
Adam
