Mark is a goodg

Nice find! They're sweet knives when you can find them, especially if they don't cost an arm and a leg.

Glad you like it Rick, it is a very nice knife. The ACSB is one of my favorites, it looks great on any knife.

I can almost warm my hands by the fire of ACSB.

Glad to see people chiming in.

Beautiful group of fixed blade Canal Street knives Varnik.

Finally picked up this Canal Street made A.G. Russell Cattaraugus Cutlery knife. Been looking for one of these in mammoth ivory for quite some time. I’ve had the stag version before and sold all of them but wanted to keep this particular pattern in mammoth ivory. Not sure of how many of these were made with mammoth ivory, but suspect it was only 100. This one is serial number 071.

This is my one and only Canal Street knife. I don't know if you can really tell from the photos but the front of the blades are highly polished and the back are flat. Was this something that they did or this knife some sort of a second?

I remember Canal Street doing that with the blades. If it's a second, which I doubt, it's not for that reason. It was very common.

Very common on Canal Street knives. You will find that more are done this way than are not.

Very nice knife. Beautiful ACSB.

If that is a 2nd I can't imagine how beautiful a 1st would be!

Thanks for the information. I did think it was too nice to be a second.

Beautiful CS Congress, chickenman62

Perhaps you'll consider posting it in the ACSB thread as well? It would be a fine addition.

I'll take my own advice but in reverse and post this Canal Street made Rigid Wildcat Driller here after posting it in the ACSB thread first!
Although this is not a pattern i collect, I love the ACSB and I am especially fascinated by the interesting asymmetrical grinds on the big ol' fat spear blade

Big ol' canvas to show off the beautiful ACSB. And the blade grinds are certainly unusual. It will stand up to two postings.

Those Canal Street Rigids are sweet knives.

I see several CS knives listed on Ebay by one seller, Rosytozy's. Is this guy legit? Ads will say "genuine" whatever but further down in descriptions it will say acrylic. Descriptions look AI generated.

Those are legit Rick. He has used AI, which is useless in this situation. Those prices are fantastic. I would buy them all at those prices but I have too many as it is.

Thanks Mark! On that recommendation I want back and even though prices are good at $125, the buy now prices were $85!!! So I snagged 2. Heads-up everyone.

Yesterday that seller had 4 different CS patterns at that price. All gone now.

OK here is my first CS knife thanks to the heads up by RedRaiderRick

Awesome stag and quality knives. to AAPK if I haven't said so already.

Thank you , this is a great place for sure

Just scored these two CS folders. A 3blade stag handled stockman and a 2blade ACSB trapper. The trapper has filed brass liners and the stockman has no brass. Both have excellent walk and talk. No gaps. Both came with labeled boxes in perfect condition. I'm a happy man!

Those file worked liners sure add a touch of fancy to that trapper, Rick. I like it
