:D :D Bryan's store is a store you want to shop at when it comes to Canal Street Knives. Super Price for a Super knife. ::ds::

Just got my first Canal Street folding hunter 212309 5 1/4' closed. What a super looking knife. First knife I have gotten that all I need to do to her is oil the joint and Ren-Wax her. Just like my S&M's in fact I feel they are both the same Quality. I see now Bryan has more of them. I bought his last one but more came in now. I am going to use his Photo cuz he did it so well and better than my photos. The box is so long I have to place her with my D'Holders fixed blades. Now that's not a bad place to fit in. Amazing only $70.50 for all she is. ::drool:: ::drool::
Bryan what other Canal Street knives do you have that look just like these scales? Man Fantastic color and finish.

::ds:: Thanks,
sunburst, jonet143, Gr8Scout, johnnierotten, Signin46 (they have a right to be jealous) and in advance S-K for your kind words. But the real thanks is to Canal Street for I would say out doing S&M's for the price you sell them for. I fell I will give it one more try just to compare a Canal Street trapper to my S&M English Jack.
Would you all think this would be a fair contest?

If any of you here in AAPK Land like folding hunters get a Canal Street from Bryan. Compare it to another one you have and let us here know what you fell. To me it's like a Schrade but made by Queen's and still priced as an old Schrade. How can you beat that??
I am trying to save $1,000 to go to S&M factory (Queens) and Knife Show on July 20 & 21, but this Canal Street is making it very hard to save my $$$. 10 knives or 13 knives?? You do the math.
I have not herd of one flaw or bade blades or bad finish or any poor quality here on any Canal Street Knives.(or did I miss them?)

Some of you that got your first GE knives do you have a Canal Street to compare them to? Whats your feelings or is this to much to ask? ::shrug::

Hukk I know you have a super set (or more) of Canal Strees knives. I now see why too. I am old so I just learn slower. :lol: Can you show us again that set in cased in wood. PLEASE. ::drool::

Some historical prospective on the price: This is very close to the Schrade Old Timer model 25OT, which had a MSPR of $49.95 at the end of it's run in 1993. Robert Clemente, in his fine little guide to Schrades,
estimated it's selling price if still being made in 2006 as $66.95-- and that is with Delrin, not bone handles.

We really are living in the golden age of pocket cutlery when a knife of Canal Street's quality can sell at such a price.

I wish they made a single blade version of this, with the brass liner lock on the clip blade ala Schrade 125OT.

That's a great knife Ken ::tu:: I bought the CS whittler from Bryan and I too am very pleased with the quality of the knife. Bryan has great prices and, not surprisingly, provides a first class service.
