Onyx Driller/sleeveboard

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.

Onyx Driller/sleeveboard

This is one of my favorites - I have to locate the box to verify but I believe they called the pattern a driller? It has onyx handles with opal inlay.

THAT is gorgeous! ::ds::

I've seen these referred to as Wildcat Driller knives by Bulldog and Schatt & Morgan to name a few.

I apologize for going off topic... but on a related note...
I keep wondering if this Ulster at 3 9/16" would be considered a Driller?
