So as it is with most of my childhood myths,as I get older I realize that they were not nearly as giant as I thought when I was younger.
I was brought up on Case pocket knives. A yellow Delrin was my first around 10 years old. Bought it with paper route money at the Ace Hardware Store across the street.
What a perfect knife it was. I could cut,whittle,pry and even dig out ant hills with it.It was indestructible. A true super knife.Many years have gone by since those days of ant hills and playing with green and Grey Army men made from plastic.
I thought that all the Super Knife days were gone too. I was wrong.
Canal Street Cutlery has sparked a new chord of youth in my heart. I bought my first one this past week and from the moment I opened the classy green box and saw the steel Grey velvet drawstring pouch inside I knew I was in for a treat.
As I slipped the blade from its velvet throne I slowly peeled back the paper to reveal my new knife.
What a blade. I have never owned a blade with thicker bone scales.
Dark Amber Jigged Stag Bone Trapper is what they at C.S.C. call it.
Unreal. The fit and finish is custom grade. The heft and thickness of the knife is outstanding. As always I had to scrape it along my arm just to see if was really sharp or not. Good gravy. It neatly shaved ALL the hair off my arm clean to the skin on one pass. I pulled out the Spey blade next and repeated the process. This is scary sharp as they say.
Fit and finish 10
Polishing and scales 10
Walk and talk 10
Factory Sharp 10
Overall satisfaction 10
If you were ever on the fence as to weather or not the Canal Street knives were worth the money they get for them, they certainly are.
I will be building quite a new collection of 400 runs or less pocket knives.
These are outstanding. Did I mention that these are intentionally made in the U.S.A. with only United States of America parts and suppliers?
Now go buy some and keep them going. One year old and counting.
Peace.:thumbup:
