How Many ?

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.

How Many ?

Post by philco »

Next year will mark the 10th anniversary of Canal Street Cutlery Company. That got me to thinking about those of us who collect their knives.........

I took inventory today of my Canal Street collection. Before I reveal how many I counted, I'd like to know about some of you other Canal Street collectors. How many have you rounded up so far?

If you have pictures let's see em. :)

Why do I have this mental picture of Philco standing there with one of those old-school handheld "clicker" counters, counting his knives and worrying that the counter only goes up to 9999? :lol:

I don't even have to take off my shoes for my one and only. I bought it during my "one of everything" phase.

I collect their American Chestnut handles. I have eleven knives in that material. The AAPK 2012 FLE in American Elk makes for an even dozen.

This Swell Center is an example.

I like that Hawbaker. I've considered those several times. The "football" is just a fun pattern.

Here's my football knives. One of the oddest things I've seen produced by any cutlery company. I'm banking on them becoming quite rare and valuable someday.......maybe..........if I live long enough...... ::woot::
