What is the Difference in these D'Holders?

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.

According to Canal Street's numbering system, 179123 would be natural wood, while 1792478 would be stabilized wood.

On the other hand, Canal Street hasn't always followed its own numbering system. I've seen a Half Moon trapper numbered 1139529, where the 3 is supposed to mean D2, but the certificate says 14-4 CrMo. In that case, the certificate was correct.

the 179123 is the canal street "open stock" American Chestnut D'holder Bowie - the 1792478 is an exclusive run Canal Street did for Blue Ridge Cutlery that has a different series number - and a D'Holder signature etch on the blade.
