Any Canal Street Fans Out There?

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.

dwygtd,
That is an awesome display. I did not realize there were so many variations of the d'Holder knife you've shown. Can you tell me what the handle material is for each one?

I still like the folders and Canal Street does produce some outstanding beauties, but there is something about the strait knives , drop points especially that seem to draw me in that direction!

Ken, It was an SFO for Red Hill Cutlery that I believe came out around 2006 (I'll have to look that up). I'm not quite ready to part with this 'ol bird yet, but perhaps Red Hill still has a few in stock? The story went that it was some old bone left over from Schrade that they intended to make 25 knives out of, but the quality of what was left only allowed for something like 15. makes sense since Schrade did come out with some blue rope jigged knives for their 100th anniversary just before they closed:

Eric,
Looks like you've rolled out the good stuff. Impressive collection of Canal Streets. Those d'Holder fixed blades really get my motor running. ::drool::
That guy is a true artist IMO.

The one I do not have yet ... :lol: Is that Maroon handled one.

How is the color in it? All smooth and lovely just like the Schrade Maroon ? or is it even better and how was it died? I am thinking Schrade used Delrin.

Ken, the color's nice. The dye seems to have gone only just beaneath the surface, where the handle is hafted it goes back to black, nice contrast. I'll see if I can get a good shot of it tomorrow or when the weather permits (It's supposed to pour, looks like Spring is here :D )

Eric

PS- is this the maroon you're talking about? It was known as maroon swirl, a type of plastic, and a for-runner to delrin. Much of this material had a tendency to shrink quite a bit, notice the bolster gaps.

No I was talking about Schrade PH1 Pro Hunter Maroon Loveless 8" 3 1/2 " 1980. Sorry not a good photo.

Your's looks almost like a Celluloid handle to me.

Some nice knives you fellers have there ::tu:: I can't believe I overlooked this thread. What do they say about eyesight being one the first things to go? :wink:

I have about 20 Canal Streets so far. Here are 3 that I really like.
First is a smooth brown bone Whittler - #1 of 11
Next is a green jigged bone Whittler - #6 of 8
And last a Trapper with African Bloodwood - #10 of 25

I'll post more when I get time to take some pics.....
