My new CSC!!!!

[MCorder]

First impression is great knife. Great fit, feel, heft, snap, and sharpness. This is a definate keeper!

A few issues and pics (little stuff)...

Pic from the web site...

Pic from the web...

Knife I received...different jig pattern, nothing major...cuts run the length of the knife.

Open and large (thick) blade...

I can't get a good pic from my cell phone...the blades apear to be polished on both sides.
The springs line up perfectly with the exception of the small coping blade...micro raise, will prob level out with use.

Great feal in the hand, will be used as a carry knife.

Thanks
Matt

Well Matt, I know these are very well made knives, Queen don't make any junk, great snag!

[mumblypeg]

Great lil' knife, MC. I like the stag bone jigging better (I think that's what they call the jigging on yours)

[gino]

Great lookin knife! I might have to get one too!

Well Matt, I know these are very well made knives, Queen don't make any junk, great snag!

Singin, that's not a Queen, it's a Canal Street

Great knife MC! Can't beat that D2 steel!

Eric

[singin46]

Yeah? all the D2 blades are supplied by Queen and put together by some Schrade custom shop guys at CS.

[D.P. Hunter]

singin ~ I don't know where you get your info from ~ but you are incorrect on 3 counts

~ blade is mirror finished on mark side only
~ blade does not come from Queen
~ there are former Schrade employees at Canal Street Cutlery and they design, tool their own parts, and make all their knives according to their own specs

We appreciate that you appreciate the knife ~ and it is an amazing knife!

[ea42]

Singin, you may be thinking of Canal Street's first couple of years. All their current patterns are there own, and produced by them, there isn't a Queen part to be found. Their current steels are 440C, D2, and 14-4CrMo.

[D.P. Hunter]

oh ~ also the smaller blades are "crinked" by design ~ so they can fold back into the liner on either side the larger blade

[D.P. Hunter]

Hi ea.. : )

[singin46]

Well that's good to know.

[gino]

IT is a great looking knife! I have to get one. :: DROOL::

[MCorder]

After a couple of days I can still say I'm very pleased with this knife.

The action has smoothed out with a little lube and work (some grit in small blade).

A great buy, would recomend it to anyone!

Matt,

The catalog photo you posted is of a amber jigged bone canitler. The one you show that you purchased is an amber stagged bone canitler.

They are two different handle options available on numerous Canal Street knives. Now that you know this you have a great excuse to get yourself another Canal Street. (as if you needed one )

By the way, that is a fine looking knife.

I think the AMBER that CS has is fabulous looking and I have not seen a bad one yet... jigged or stagged.

I bought this one from Michael yeaterday at the Shenandoah Valley Knife Show...3-1/2" Three Blade Cannitler, Mahoghany Buffalo Horn. Knife # 1 and it has th Canal Street Cutlery and the Drop Point Hunter Shields. What a beauty! Thanks Michael.

Sorry about the low quality pictures, I got home last night and couldn't wait to show them off!

Tom

[tjmurphy]

Nice knife. I really like that big fat spear

EDIT: Just read the shield and it says "Drop Point Hunter". So, I really like the big fat blade, whatever it is

[Chase]

Drop Point Hunter refers to Michael Siegle's Store where the Cannitler was produced for! It was his way of marking his brand if you will....CSC made these for his store

Tom

[philco]

Nice one Tom. I like those canitlers a lot. Yours with the nice handles and that special shield should be a rare collectable in days to come. I'm feelin just a twinge of jealosy at the moment............
