Canal Street model #s?

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.

Canal Street model #s?

Post by RedRaiderRick »

Saw this posted on Ebay. Obviously the paper description as a jack does not match the muskrat knife. I see similarly mis-described GECs and occasionally point out the mistakes to the sellers. To be helpful, not in a Jerky kinda way. Then I thought, has anybody assembled a list of CS model numbers with descriptions of patterns?

Yeah, I think something is not right here. 🤔

It has puzzled me why Canal Street assigned model numbers to their products but did not stamp the model numbers on the knives. They put the numbers on the slip of paper that comes in the box and sometimes on a sticker on the end of the box's exterior, but never (to my knowledge) on the knives themselves.
