CSC Pinch Lock Back Treasures

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.

CSC Pinch Lock Back Treasures

Post by Chase »

I started this topic to show my gathering of Canal Street Pinch lock Backs. I absolutely love this smaller lockback, feels great in the hand and not too large for the pocket either, although I do not carry one, I sure love to collect them!

The Buffalo Horn and Abalone with the carved bolsters, the black and white rattlesnake skin (plain, engraved and carved bolsters) and I think that's it for now.

Unless I can convince Wally......hint...hint, to do the Pinch with the Brown rattlesnake pattern!

Michael also had another material you guys were working with....sorta like leather?

Excellent collection you've put together Tom. I'm quite impressed. ::tu::

Those are great little lockbacks and Canal Street sure does a wonderful job making them.
