Message From Canal Steet on Forum Knife. Good to go.

Wow, it seems that if A.G. Russell had all 400 ring knives, they could of sold them anyway, sounds good for CSCC and A.G. Russell, can't wait to see that India stag version, which should also be the same as the BFC knife, which a lot of us are waiting for, anytime soon

The India stag version should also be hot! I might have to jump on that one. How soon are you talking?

Sterling and stag will be ready about the 20th of Nov. $175 will be the catalog price A. G.

With all the talk on RC values of CSC's stainless knives I was really glade to see, from AG's site

http://www.agrussell.com/knives/by_maker/a_through_d/canal_street_cutlery/ring_opener_.html

"Has a 1-5/8" pen blade and a nail file, both of A-2 at 59-61 Rc., a perfect hardness for this steel, tough with great edge holding. "
Gus any updates on the forum blades?

 

[Bastid]

No updates and I promise to post in this thread within seconds after I finish reading any that come in. .

db, I noticed the same thing on the RC and it made me smile.

 

[Thomason]

Is anyone else worried by the possibility that once we get used to using those rings to open the knife that thumb muscle atrophy will develop and we will be unable to open a nail-nick knife?

 

[puukkoman]

So... no updates, eh?
Well, has anybody been keeping track of our timeframe? I'd be curious to find out how close we are (roughly) to our projected due date....

 

[Rusty1]

Around about the 13 Nov is Eight weeks, not including weekends, From the original receipt of payment at CSC, See top of page one, I'm guessing anytime around there,

[db]

Any word yet? Thought I'd bring this one up instead of the long thread.

 

[Bastid]

We'll stick with this thread for updates.

As of now. - none.

 

[sheathmaker]

Bastid; Any recent communication FROM Canal Street?? I read on another thread that there may be production problem/delays. Seems like they would have been good enough to notify you if that was the case.

[Thomason]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Paul Long volunteered to make pocket sheaths for everyone that ordered one?

(just goosin' with ya, Paul)

I'm just worried about that Wall Street Journal article about the Purina company's sales far exceeding expectations this quarter. It said that "a company executive attributed the figures to a single large order of Goat Chow".

Coincidence?!?

 

[Bastid]

LMAO.

Ah the temptation of hoarding goat chow ... .

 

[sheathmaker]

BTTT just because. (See post #30)

 

[puukkoman]

They've gotta be almost ready, don't ya think, guys?

 

[peter78]

I was hoping to get them by the 29th, my birthday. Instead my Wife gave me only 5 knives. I guess I will live though. I got two knives with stag and two Buck Christmas tins from Wal-Mart. One tin had two knives, I guess they don't really count though, being from China.

I am now hoping I will get the knife for Christams, or maybe Ground Hog Day???

 

[sunnyd]

When you consider what we ordered, that is the ring knife model, type of scales, engraving and that it is a "special order", I was surprised that Canal Street gave us such a short proposed wait time to begin with. I'm figuring they will probably arrive by Christmas at this point. But even if we receive them after the New Year we should not worry about any of it since we have got Gus in charge, everything is well in hand.

 

[Bastid]

If/when they update me, it will be posted here within 5 min after I read the update. .

See Post 24. .

 

[PhilL]

If I don't get this knife there won't be anything but coal and wood in my Christmas stocking.
