Canal Street Masterpiece !

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.

Michael had the folks use up the remaining Wildebeest material to make up the Barlows. I am not sure how many were made...hopefully Michael or Eric will come along and enlighten us!

Beautiful knife Tom!! Ya know, I'm not sure how many we put together, I think it was around thirty give or take a few. Definitely some beautiful stuff, each one's completely different. I've been putting so many knives together I've completely lost track of the numbers, plus my arm's about falling off from hammering all those stainless pins, they don't give! ::teary_eyes:: :D :D

Here's a few more, snapped this pic at the shop:

They are very nice Eric! I love mine and it has a place amoung each of the other Barlows you guys have put out so far! I even got one of those Stags you did for AG Russell, on order.

These Barlows have become my newest passion, right up there with those Awesome Pinch Lock Backs!

Keep em coming......
