Any Canal Street Fans Out There?

[big monk]

Wel,it's like a sickness _______had to go back and get this little, swell center jack,to keep the stockman company didn't want it to get lonely

[justold52]

I think you picked out 2 very kool paterans.
I was going to ask if your collection was going to be all stockmens.

May I add to your list one J.A. Henckels Trapper HK5 Stag.
Perhaps a Sog also....

OOPS this is a CS tread SORRY...

[big monk]

Does yours have the threaded bolsters? I have only seen plus the one I have without.

Russell

Hey Rusty______you were right _______the knife I got,did not have the threaded bolsters,although,the item numbers were the same____also,the bone color and jigging ,was different ______not the same knife I ordered"""not at all"": ::td::_____take a look,__________top photo,is the knife I received,and bottom photo,is what is advertised,on the web. site,as well as, on the Canal Street Cutlery web. site. ?????????? The reason I ordered,was the machined ringed bolsters __________waiting on a reply,from them now____I'll up-date with results******* Monk

[Rusty1]

Monk, you are right about the bone not looking the same as the stock picture. The jigging looks like a different style altogether. I took my sample out, and it is similar to the stock picture although mine is darker still on the jigging, the CSC catalogue number is the same as yours 315529 No threaded bolsters on mine as mentioned earlier. My knife also came from the same supplier now that I recall, birthday present from the wife!! I too was looking for the threaded bolsters. I kept the knife in the hope I may of found one with threaded bolsters later. CSC made a stockman with what they call Newcastle bone, which at first I thought yours may of been, although that is different again. One thing I do like about your knife is that the jigging goes from end to end, where usually they are hafted smooth when buffed. from pin to bolster.

Please post the answer you receive from the supplier.

Will Do

[Rusty1]

Oh !! By the way! You mentioned sickness the other day...............I've lost the plot altogether!!

Russell

[big monk]

Very,Very,Very NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better not let Phil see that MOP ---that;s his "'Dream Knife""'

I got my swell center in today also,and was ""really impressed with it""---I'll be getting some pictures soon,but not nearly as good at"" photo takin' "" as you and some of the other guys

[Rusty1]

Thanks for the compliment Monk..............most pictures are good without flash and natural daylight also helps, greyish days so the blades don,t end up looking blue, because of the sky.

Here is my Stockman as requested bone came out a little darker than ir really is.

Russell

[philco]

Too late Monk, I've already spotted that beauty!

Welcome to Canal Street Monk. It's a really nice place to hang out.

Russell you have elevated the art of Canal Street collecting to a whole new level. I'm most impressed with that group of swell centered jacks show above.

Thanks for sharing your knives here guys.

Follow up on different knife shipped************

Just got off the phone,with, The Knife Center (Pattie),about the Canal Street Stockman,I received_____very understanding,well handled,and I would do business with these folks again He was open to any option,that I wanted to correct the error/problem ( 100% refund,exchange,replace,try to find the correct knife, ect.)__I explained,that the reason,I ordered ,from them,was the machined/ringed, bolsters,and I could have bought the knife they sent me,for less,so I asked him for a refund of the price difference ???? and I'd just keep the knife??? I had a refund,to my account,before we got off the phone and I also,told him to find me the pictured knife,and I'd buy it too !!!!!!! This was my first time dealing with THE KNIFE CENTER,and I will have to say,the customer service,is second to none !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Phil________I really like those Canal Street, too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! coming down,with another ""Knife Virus"" cough,cough,sneeze

[justold52]

WOW WEEEE some unique awesome doozys and grate photos too.

The more you get the more you will want.

Still the best knife for the money. IMO

Here's another.

[philco]

Those half moon trappers are such a slim, pocket friendly design. I will be interested to hear how that one does for you as an EDC Johnny twoshoes. Even though I have accumulated several, I have not used any of my Canal Streets thus far.

2Dead. Glad to have you join us.

You have a most impressive collection of CS half moon trappers. There is another member here on AAPK who also collects them. I'll give him a heads up to your post here.

I'm a big fan of the Amber Staged Bone handled knives so that stockman punches my buttons.

Phil

[BigDonDon]

Thanks to Phil Stevens for alerting me to this thread.

I don't have any photos but here is a list of my nearly 50 different Half Moon Trappers. As you can see a couple of them are very rare!. I got them from Rich Lanigan who has a special connection with Wally Gardiner at Canal Street. I think they are excellent knives and they do fit nicely in the pocket. If anyone knows of Half Moon Trappers not on my list I'd like to hear about them. Sorry about the mis-aligned columns. My spread sheet didn't copy very well here.

OUTSTANDING collections. all of you. I have been looking into picking up some CS Trappers. Would someone suggest a vendor? Most I find only have a few items.

[2Dead]

Thanks for the welcome and kind words guys!!

Hi Don,
That is truly and impressive collection. I believe I've seen partial lists of your collection before and used them as checklists for myself

[BigDonDon]

Off the top of my head here are a few good honest dealers. Also Michael Siegel has a direct connection to Wally @ Canal Street. His Email is:

Don has listed some really good sources for Canal Street knives. I've purchased knives from all of them and have been pleased with the knives and the service. One other name I can throw out there is an ebay seller who sells under the name of keepdad1. He has a pretty good variety based on the ones I've seen him post for sale. If there is something in particular you are hunting for, I'd suggest sending him a message. He is a good guy to deal with.
