Latest Purchase: Mother Of Pearl Cannitler

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.

Latest Purchase: Mother Of Pearl Cannitler

Post by Spectrum »

After buying my first Canal Street knife ( a jigged amber bone Cannitler) I became a fanatic of this pattern. When I saw this limited edition mother of pearl Cannitler for sale I could not resist buying it. It is number 21 of 100 issued per the seller. A.G. Russell offered a similar knife with scroll work on the bolsters but it was priced considerably higher. Anyway, the mother of pearl is beautiful and I am very pleased with this knife.

Thanks for the replies / comments, gentlemen. The closed length is 3 1/2 inches. I have been using a bone handled Cannitler as an EDC for a few months and carry it in a small leather belt pouch I got from A.G. Russell.
I own canoe pattern knives by Case and Queen and I like them all but I like CSC's version best. The workmanship is outstanding and the blades open easily and are very sharp. Here's a link to a previous post about these knives:
