Patriotic Salute !

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.

She is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

I was fortunate enough to see these in the production phase last week when I dropped by Canal Street Cutlery for a visit. The phase of assembly I saw these in was nothing compared to the finished product you see here......

Thank you Canal Street Cutlery for your hospitality and a Premier Product, hand assembled masterpiece, made in the good Ole USA.

As a matter of fact, Eric was working these and gave me the preview on them. I had already ordered one and was anxious to receive it.

Eric took the time to show me where they were in production. I have to tell you, these folks at Canal Street are a great bunch of people and, as you well know, make a great product. Keep up the great work Eric and tell everyone I send my thanks once again.

Canal Street did it again.......

They just produced an English Barlw in the Kirinite covers, exclusively for AG Russell!

I just had to have one and ordered just the other day. I will post new pictures of the English Barlow along with the Pinch Lock Back as soon as the Barlow arrives from AG Russell.

This is going to be an excellent pairing of knives!

Here are a couple of quick pictures of the Red, White & Blue Kirinite Pinch Lock Back and English Barlow!

These are truly beautiful knives.
