WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CANAL STREET KNIVES? KNOWING THAT THE COMPANY EVOLVED FROM SCHARADE. DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE A BIT OVER PRICED? I HAVE SEEN THEM, AND THEY ARE SHARP KNIVES I RECKON GOOD COLLECTABLES!

Hey Caseman;
IMO(worth about half a penny). I think they are good well priced knives.
It's my belief that the internet may prevent any startup from becoming another Case or for that matter another Schrade. Generally wholesale price depending on quantity purchased is something less than half retail. With knives selling on the net for wholesale plus a few bucks. The startup better be prepared to make it on wholesale, special orders etc. Their retail business will be non-existent.
That said I do own a couple, excellent fit great finish. I plan on saving for future generations with all documentation. I did by the way purchase from CSCC.(Stupid!, maybe, but my donation to this companies success)
If you check back on past posts you will find further pro and con on this brand.
Thanks for listening.
W.B.

I just bought my first one, look in this forum for the post about it below, I got a Congress pattern, and while it was a little "pricey", it is very well made.
PS, are you aware that using all upper case is considered "shouting" in cyberspeak?
