All About Pocket Knives

My pleasure Doug!

Roland, I'd be surprised if there were more than three or four knives from each pattern made.

Eric

That's a Beauty Eric and you have the drawings for the Tang Stamps as well! What a Lucky Guy!

Thank you for sharing those pictures!

Tom

Thanks Tom! I do have a thing for paperwork and ephemera.

Eric

This one showed up in today's mail

Doug, that's amazing! Thanks for showing the pics, I've never seen the completed model with all the bling. We did the knives at the shop, then sent them to Colt to be emblazoned with the blade etch and handle signature, but until today I'd never seen what that looked like. Very Nice!

Eric

Eric, Thanks, it's a handful at 11-3/4" overall. It also came with a black fitted sheath embossed the same as the tang stamp. I found one that is in stock and currently for sale at American Edge. https://www.americanedgeknives.com/cana ... fe-ct1873/

That is a Beauty Doug.

I have one of those without the Etching and Signature as well.

I am also fortunate enough to own one of the Tang Stamps too....big Ole Tang Stamp.

Was able to get an Eric's Jack, box, bag and papers. #63.

Congratulations Floyd. You've got yourself a keeper there. Nice looking stag too.

Thanks Phil, I am still pretty excited about it.

Here is a cellphone photo of my Canal Street COLT Bowie (without the Colt embelishments) along with the Tang Stamp (Unused)!

Tom

Thanks for posting those pic's Tom. It sure is a well made knife, but then I haven't found a Canal Street that isn't. Tony was saying that there was one like yours on Ebay just the other day, wish he had told me before the auction ended. I just might have to modify that display and turn it into a wall hanger...I've run out of room to set things. Guess it's a good thing I've decided to sell off a few knives.
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments, they are much appreciated.

Well today I received my my third vintage CSC folding pocket knife... officially designating me as a Canal Street Cutlery collector...
(I'm not counting the recently acquired Co-op pinchback I received a couple of months ago.)
Actually I rather fancy the pattern... a first for me... a Doctor's knife... but the real reason I went for it is because of the Amber Jig Bone handles... also a first for me...


Okay... please excuse my ignorance here... but what is the second blade used for on this pattern?

Nice acquisition KAW. The spatula blade was used for a couple of things. It was used to scoop a small amount of powdered medication and it was also used to slide pills across the surface as they were counted and put into a container.

Two CSC acquisitions in one month!!... truly turning out to be a very merry holiday season...
In addition to the Doctors knife I recently posted... I received this Whittler this week... another favorite pattern of mine...

Glad you like it, Ken. It was one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Love that whittler. Two great pick ups.

Got this Canal Street Canittler in MOP recently. Hope you enjoy it.

That's a beauty doglegg. Hard to beat pearl in my opinion.

Gorgeous knife doglegg!

Thanks Phil and Rick.

Sweeeet knife there doglegg... I've been eyeing those Canittlers, but have yet to pick one up...
BTW... just how does one pronounce "Canittler"? Does not exactly roll off the tongue for me...

Just say ittler like whittler then put a can in front of it. At least I think that's how to pronounce it.
