A few weeks back I was very lucky, I recieved a 'mob'of knives (a couple of which I've yet to even post about).

Together with lack of time and issues with my work computer being hacked, I have not properly had chance to post about a great week knife Alex (puukkoman) sent me, by way of thanks for some Nordic knife making bits and bobs I sent him.

I don't know a great deal about it or the manufacturer. Given the 'CSC' stamp I wonder if it is Canal Street Cutlery maybe??

Here are some pics I just braved the arctic winds on site to show you this old boy, along side the lil Case Peanut, another knife gifted to me, for scale and reference.

Thank you Alex, this was a nice treat.

The carbon blades, show the test of time, they are somewhat weathered looking along their surfaces. They have ceratinly been used, but not abused. The steel takes a great edge.

The small pen blade has a nice solid half & full stop.

The main, a little tricky to access the nick due to the pen, is a 'softer' in the full stop postion. There's a barely flat spot on the tang which marginally constitutes a half stop.

I'm not used to such a 'worn in' looking knife. The bone scales are pocket polised smooth. One is liftign slightly, but it'll hold up for a good while yet.

Thanks again to you Alex and Uncle Andi too.
 
Thom, glad you like it. I've always thought the bone on that one is just lovely.
It seemed to me that the main blade used to have a true half stop at one time, but the corners of the tang have worn down.
I think that one predates Canal Street, but I'm not certain (was there perhaps an "old" Canal Street Cutlery, in decades past, of which I'm unaware?). Does look an awful lot like that Utica in the other thread. Wish I had more info for you.
And no, thank YOU. :)
 
The bone on the CSC looks so warm and rich, reminds me of the old Rogers bone from the 40s that Camillus used to use.

Lovely knife Scruff, has some real character :thumbup: The Peanut's not bad either! :D A nice little photo essay there, thanks for letting us see them. Two splendid knives from two splendid gentlemen :)
 
Great looking knife, Thom. The bone on that one is really great looking and nicely worn out.

Thanks for sharing :)
 
I like the bone and shield on that CSC, it's a kind of scaled down version of a Queen Heritage Woodsman I was lucky to get in trade.

Thanks, Will
 
Great knives, I love the Bone on the Jack, what a great looking knife!! Well done guys, this really is a fantastic place.
