Muskrats!

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.

Nice to see an old timer muskrat! I have a 77uh which is a little bit of a unicorn. Only seen a few. Most are the 877uh with a gut hook. These are the predecessors of what CSC did. The ones with the double back springs were a lot more work and material. Feels like a complete different knife when you hold them. Couple closet queens. I’m not sure where the green bone fell in the order of things but you can see the knife with the walden Mark was the original design which changed into the more robust knife and then transitioned back to the original design.

To those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected ones will never know.
