Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Christmas in August!
As mentioned just above, the new Canal Street Co-op Pinches were supposed to be completed in September.
I received mine from Red Hill yesterday.
As shown, the knife came in a Red Hill box, inside a brown pouch, but did include the familiar slip of paper stating its origin.
The knife is not serial numbered and does not have a shield on the reverse side (as I wondered about up-thread.)
A great addition to my small collection of CS knives.
Congratulations to Mr. Gardiner, his cutlers, and Red Hill!

What does the tang stamp say?

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I believe they are going to be Canal Street Tang Stamps
When I talked with Redhill, they stated that they were looking to bring on their own brand, however, Wally made the offer and they went with Canal Street Co-op knives.
Looks like it is going to be the same Tang Stamps that were are all used to seeing, right now!

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I would hope they used a different tang stamp so we could easily differentiate between the factory made Canal Street Cutlery Co. knives and the knives produced by the new co-op.

The stamp on the co-op knife that was shown by jxr1197 looks identical to the stamp used prior to the co-op era.philco wrote:I would hope they used a different tang stamp so we could easily differentiate between the factory made Canal Street Cutlery Co. knives and the knives produced by the new co-op.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Not the best picture, but the tang stamp on the chestnut pinch shows
Canal Street
Cutlery Co.
USA
(3 lines, slightly curved)
same as my 2013 merlot linen Pinch from the older CSC.
Also note, the Co-op blade is 154 CM while the CSC pinches were D2 (at least my few are).

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
My American chestnut pinch arrived today. I supposedly had ordered the last one available according to the sales staff at Red Hill.
Since Dan & Jason have already posted photos no need for me duplicate their efforts. The tang stamp is the original Canal Street Cutlery factory stamp with Canal Street / Cutlery Co. in a double arch over a the straight lined USA. The knife itself is purely Canal Street Cutlery. Only the little info sheet designates it as a co-op knife & of course, the Red Hill Cutlery box reveals their association in this partnership. I'm so glad to be fortunate enough to obtain a "first run" knife of the Wally's new CSC co-op venture! May it be the first of many...

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Does anyone know how many of the pinch lockbacks with the chestnut handles were made?
I have read that the batch runs where to be less than 100 pieces...
and I agree with bestgear.... it would be nice to know who the cutler is for the knife I obtained.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Can't help you with who the cutler is, but there were less than 10 made according to the website. These first ones are very small batches.KAW wrote:Does anyone know how many of the pinch lockbacks with the chestnut handles were made?

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
First post Guys Nice to meet ya !
I called Josh at Red Hills yesterday and he told me the stag boys knife was for a show they we're having in a couple weeks ,but they where put up on the web site just to test the water !
Never thinking they would go as fast as they did. Well We knew better ! I have one of those coming and a pinch in N.M. He was going to ship them together, I told him cool but it's a test of my OCD (I want it! I want it now ! ) He also said to keep on the lookout for more ! but I don't think we'll see big runs from CSC co-op , Josh said Wally want to keep the runs small, so We'll see.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Just got notice that my Wildebeest pinch lock back has shipped I won't know the handle coloration and texture until I open the package.
Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Geez Jerry......that's like waiting for a baby to be born and not knowing if your going to have a son or a daughter......I like the suspense!

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
Supposedly there were only 5 knives made with the Wildebeest handles. The good folks at Red Hill confirmed there were 5 made and one was shipped before they got a picture so the picture shown above is 80% the total wildebeest run.

Re: Canal Street Co-op Knives
I totally missed the boat on this Canal Street offering. Any of you guys have a suggestion on how I may avoid this in the future ?
