Knice knife Chase!

This is the Beauty my good friend sent me! Cherry Cola Swell Center Jack

Finally a Union Cut made by Canal Street

Thank you Scott!

Tom, I think you now have one of each!
That hobo is top knotch!(spelled like that intentionally)

Not quite yet Jody....But I am working on it though...lol

Thank you

Tom

Picked up a few more Canal Street knives....loving it's!

Tom do you have a Canal Street room?

Tom, you've got some real beauties there! That two blade congress is really a unique one, I don't recall those ever being produced, and that shield is an unusual one too!!

Eric

I do not have a Canal Street Room, however, I have carved out a section of my Schrade Room just for the Canal Street Knives. They are like step siblings...lol. After all, family is family...

Eric, that 2 blade half congress was really unique...that's why I grabbed it up. I have never seen one before, it is a Canal Street knife and the shield is extremely unique...never seen one of those either. I need to catch up with Wally and Uncle Harold to get the scoop on this puppy. It also has half stops...I had to have it.

The swell center Jack was for Moore Maker and the folding Hunter with liner lock was a prototype for KaBar

Then there is the Stag 1873 Bowie and then a couple other fixed blades I didn't have. Trying to get a large gathering of Canal Street History before it becomes extinct or outrageously priced. Got to preserve the history as much as I can.

Tom

I was wondering who ended up with that half congress. If you ever get the story behind that one please post it. I saw it on the bay but that shield scared me off for what they were asking for it.

Definitely a cool piece.

They're already counterfeiting them Tom. Smile

I like that congress.

Good to see your post Eric.

Thanks Lyle, good to be here. I like that avatar, great to see that knife found a good home among its peers

Tom, did a few repairs for Regina up in Grahamsville, great people. Chuck's got a very impressive collection of early CS.

Eric

Here's two Canal Streets and a Rigid (made by Canal Street) that I picked up at a knife show over the weekend.

Very nice Phil!

I recently started finding those Canal Street made Rigid knives. I now have 4 Rigids with matching Canal Streets...lol

Tom

Here are some new additions

Tom that's a bunch of wonderful knives you've added.

I'm particularly impressed with that set of stag knives. Do you know the story on those ?

Phil,

That was a set made for Red Hill Cutlery. 1 of 15 or 1 of 25 made, can't remember exactly. Yes, I was very glad to add that set to the gathering!

Tom

Just picked up this Moore Maker made by Canal Street.

Wow, quite the knife ! I have a similar one that is a Canal Street Cutlery knife. Did CSC make any other knives for Moore Maker ?
I lost interest in MM after Camillus closed in 2007 because i thought Bear Mfg. got a contract to replace Camillus. I assume the bone & Stag handled MM still come from Queen ?

Edit to add pictures of my 2010 CSC, 4 1/8" Swell Center Jack with Paua shell & D2:

I found this info on BF...
If it's expensive, it's made by Queen.
If it's inexpensive, and there's a B after the model number, it's made by Bear and Sons.
If it's inexpensive, and there's a U after the model number, it's made by Utica.
If it's inexpensive, and there's no letter after the model number, it was made by Camillus.

Canal Street made the Pinch Lockback for Moore Maker as well

Thanks, good information & nice MM Pinch.

Until Doug posted the picture of his Moore Makers trapper I had no idea that Canal Street had used the Swell Centered Jack frame to build a trapper. With Doug's help I was able to locate one with mesquite handles. Unfortunately (for me) it appears he snagged the only abalone model up for sale. Life can be so cruel.
