CSC - Share your Canal Street Cutlery Knives

[Will Power]

H Hoffmajo89 Thanks for your enthusiasm The bone & jigging on that one is really attractive.

My understanding of the Crocus/Glaze finish is that it was a hallmark of superior grade and finished knives from American cutlers of the late c19th early c20th and it was a homage to that. Studying old catalogues can confirm this, certainly adds to production time and cost I'd imagine.

Some outstanding examples being shown in this revisited thread, good job everybody

Wow I’m very jealous of your half moon trappers, it’s possibly my favorite slip joint. I love the subtle elegance of it and especially the blade to handle ratio

Minor correction - the final product was shadow pattern Bocote I believe!!

Thats what I meant to say
Thanks for catching that

I seem to remember that Eric hafted all our knives, singlehandedly, for that batch of knives!!! Canal street was slowly shutting down!!

Thank you for the info, that makes sense. It would definitely complicate the production process to have such a blade finish.

Love that Eric’s Jack. One of these days I’d like to track down one of the boys’ knife patterns, such a simple but well executed design.

What are the handles on the one below the Kabar (a grail knife of mine btw )?

Oh man, Eric, I love that integral!

 

[Hoffmajo89]

Very dark and even ebony on this one. Anybody know if there’s a name for this style of nail nick, where the corners have been rounded off? I think it’s a very nice touch and makes the whole knife look more premium.

waynorth Charlie, I feel there must be a story behind that half-moon with the filework on the spring.

Very cool, the work completed seems to customize without taking away from the overall “CSC-look” of the knife… At least that’s how my untrained eye sees it.

All I can say is that every one of these is a winner

Yup!! Agreed!!! Just new handles, and filework!!

My one and only Canal Street knife, won in a GAW I think glennbad did if I’m remembering it correctly. It’s a wicked slicer!!
