North American Elk Horn Cannitler

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.

That is a great looking knife, but the price tag keeps me from buying one.

Yep the North American Elk Horn is a bit more expensive (material wise) than the Chestnut and bone. FWIW The NA Elk (50 made) is priced lower than the MSRP ($150) of the Chestnut (600 made) & open stock bone (400).

For those who are interested the price of the Cannitler is going up next year, for the second year in a row. In my opinion - it is a knife that is worth every penny of the MSRP, and it's value will only go up. The Cannitler is probably the most difficult knife to execute, skill wise, in the Canal Street line. It is also a remarkable knife, and historically it is a prime example of the evolution of the true split backspring whittler pattern. We, who collect them, all know how much a premium whittler goes for. Well this is a premium whittler! There is no other whittler with a main spear blade like this one has, or with as durable a split backspring design. Buy them while you can.
