Rat Infested

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.

I was putting away a couple of new additions when it dawned on me my collection had become infested with rats............muskrats that is. Here's the photographic evidence.

Eric, that is a great looking group there of newborns, and right in the factory still....LOL

I have become a fanatic of the Canal Street Knives. I started out with just a couple of knives here and there. I really latched onto the Pinch Lock Backs, which quiclkly became my favorite. I started out with one of each and then expanded it into three of each of the Pinches....plain bolster, factory engraved bolster and custom engraved bolsters. I promised myself I would stick to just the Pinches....however, I have fallen off the Pinch Lock Back Wagon and started picking up some of the latest Half Moon Trappers!

And then here you guys come with a FANTASTIC looking Barlow...unveiled at Shot Show and hook me again. I now have three preordered Barlows. I can't wait to see what's next up on the table.

I might need to find a second job just to support this addiction...and my wife thought I could stick to just my original fixation with Schrade USA......LOL.

Bring it on Canal Street!

Tank I think you may be on to something......River Rats sounds about right!

Eric those bear a striking resemblence to the latest AAPK knives. That would not be a picture of them while they were under production would it?

Tom, I knew it was just a matter of time before Wally and Michael won you over. :mrgreen:
